M104 on a 94 E320 runs slightly rough at idle when Air Pump is On

I've noticed that I have a slightly rough idle when the air pump is on. I can hear the air pump pretty good when it's on (EDIT added detail: if I'm near the engine with the hood open). I can feel a decent shake which almost feels like a slight mis-fire while it's running then the engine is as smooth as a top once the air pump clutch disengages.

Any ideas?

fwiw... I'm getting a pretty good rotten egg smell when I floor it. I can smell it in the car even with the winders closed.
