Yes, check out the vacuum booster pump carefully - on my '75 280C the diaghram had a hole in it and it caused the car to smoke profusely when going downhill. I removed the pump and installed a plate in it's place, the vacuum from the engine is plenty to operate all systems. That was close to 10 yrs ago, no problems since.
