W163 V8 Intake Manifold Replacement?

'99 ML430 W163. Replacing intake manifold. The vacuum line going from underneath the front end into the secondary air pump crumpled, so looks like I'll have to remove the manifold to get access to it, and I'd rather just replace the whole intake manifold and other hoses while I'm at it to fix some vacuum leaks (high pitch ringing at idle). However, I cannot find a how to anywhere on the replacement. There are a ton of videos for the W164, but not the W163. Anyone know where I can find a service manual or better yet, a video?

I've seen the Mercedes service manuals with the drawings and they are awful. Looking for real pictures or video.

Thank you, Maj. Dundee, but this are the manuals I was referring to that just do not help, as it's very few drawings. I found a video of an '02 C320 that is extremely video to mine so that should work. Link is below. If it's not similar and you'd want to let me know, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!
