Engine performance issue, 1985 Mercedes 500SEL

Hello,

As the title says, I have a 500SEL with some running problems.

She sat mostly dry for ~5 years, but ran fine before then. As far as the engine goes, I've only done the plugs, oil, and drained the fuel tank.
The problem is the engine runs rough at idle, throttle response is terrible, it's definitely not putting out full power, and she sometimes stalls out between gears at low speed. I think it's a vacuum leak somewhere, but a second opinion would be appreciated.

Bonus photos for reading this and helping me out. Your input is appreciated! I can't wait to have this thing running like a champ again.
