Also I looked online and could find a Oil filter relocation kit. Anyone done it?
Thank you

I don't think anyone has done a relocation on a 120, or if they have they haven't really posted about it. The aftermarket for all of Mercedes is eye openingly tiny, and that's doubly so for a low production, expensive motor like the 120.
I'd have to see what the oil filter pattern is to see if any of the solutions from the smaller motors would work, but unfortunately my suspicion is that they will not.
As far as vacuum lines I'd try and find a W140 service manual as I cant find one online. Otherwise I'd seek out Roncallo, a member here who swapped a 120 into an R107 SL so he knows as much/more on the motor as anyone here.
