Arrow Newest Mercedes in my bunch, 420SEL

I just bought a minty 89 420SEL and the only things I can find to look at are as follows:

1. A/C is a little slow to come on after the switch is pushed; works fine after that .... has been converted to 134A

2. Security alarm is very sensitive; seems to be affected by heavy wind, etc. etc. occasionally. Can this system be adjusted to be less sensitive?

3. A slightly rough idle; higher speed performance and starting are fine? I will look at the obvious -- such as vac hoses and plug connections, but what else might cause this?

Would appreciate any thoughts on these items .... thanks, Ben Carter
