As for the driveshaft, my understanding is that the solution is to mate the rear half of a 260e driveshaft to the rear half of the stock driveshaft. The longer 260e rear half compensates for the fact that the manual box is shorter than the automatic it's replacing. The flange coming out of my manual box should be fine since the box came out of a 190 2.6e.
I haven't been into these cars for very long so please feel free to correct me if I write something completely asinine!

The tachometer on the om603 reads off the teeth for the starter motor for the flywheel. Any MB flywheel will work for this. You don't need the timing windows (sensor tabs).
You have the right idea for the DS. You'll also need to replace the imput flange to the diff. You can grab the one from the 190e. You'll need a special 30mm deep thin wall socket for this.
