The centering sleeve is needed if the injection pump will be removed. Mercedes used to leave the centering sleeve in the engine, up through the late 80's. Then they started removing it. Most 1986/87 engines came with the sleeve from the factory, but it may have been removed by a previous owner if the vac pump had ever been replaced in the past. Photos are shown below.
