I have recently been given a 1969 230. It needs a new compressor, idle adjustment, new dash lights, and a new hose for exhaust from air filter to manifold (i think). I am having TONS of trouble getting parts or information. If anyone can point me in the right direction, it would be very helpfull. A manual for the 69 230 would be very helpfull.

Don't want to suggest that car isn't worth spending the kind of money you're talking about, but this car has served its purpose in life. But if you persist, then find one of the many junk yards that have good used parts for this model. M.Benz sells a C.D. with every thing about the model(W114-115) chassis.
