Yes, been down this road with VW golfs and Porsche 944s, but this will be the first MB so still learning some of the little details.

Management. Carbed is simplest for initial operation.

Switch. The switch for the diesel engine has a vacuum shutoff section added; the electrical section should still have the ignition circuit contacts.

SLS. The pump is the same; reuse the pump from the diesel. The drive dog might be the same.
Thanks.
