vacuum door locks don't work

Recently I purchased a 380SL. Love the car, and am bringing it back to a great condition. The user's manual says the door locks are operated by a vacuum system. Where is the vacuum pump located? I don't think it's operating. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

No vacuum pump... It stores and uses engine vacuum.

Here's a link to the MB service manual which included vacuum schematics including the locking system.
