Holson,
There really are two coil packs for this engine, one for each cylinder bank. Unfortunately I cannot find an image of the engine to highlight the exact location (near the ABS unit, under the alarm horn, on the left side). They have a black plastic dust cover protecting the top of each unit.
The best way to locate them yourself is to trace the central lead from one of the distributor caps to the left side of the engine. Removing the left headlight should provide the most access, if you are comfortable with doing so. You will need a flat screwdriver to open the plastic covers and gain access to the coils.
There is no MB recommended service interval on coils, just to be clear. Intermitent coil problems tend to surface under high load (starting, hard acceleration) as they age.
