Default Idle adjustment 1984 380SEL

Hi folks, new to the world of Mercedes cars. I feel the idle after warm up is too low and when Air-con is engaged it wants to stall. Can anyone advise me on what I coould look at. Car rins well.
regards Steve

can you see a hole somewhere on the air cleaner housing top? a long allen wrench can adjust the idle from there... or else you need to remove the housing to access the adjusting screw from the top of fuel distributor.
