I would look at the car closely for rust.

Call me pessimistic but not knowing much about a car is good cover for problems that the owner doesn't disclose. I would have the car checked out too. If the MFI system needs rebuilding work that could be a costly repair. Listen for backfires. Actually, if it back fires you will know it!
There's a picture of a '69 911E engine compartment on my website, but it is of poor quality.

I have a 2meg mpg file of the motor running that I can email you that could provide additional visual clues as to what should be in the motor compartment area, but from the picture nothing looks unusual other than the snorkle thing is missing. Actually the bar that controls the throttle bodies looks off to me, but perhaps it's the angle of the shot. Also, what is the pipe that appears to be welded onto the top of the air cleaner? Some sort of exhaust recirculation? My 2.0 did have that.
I took the video for the person that bought the 2.0 motor (actually I traded the 2.0 motor for a 3.0 SC motor).
