The air bleed screw is right under the intake elbow. there is an access hole there. Use a small flat screw driver to make the adjustment. Turn it ccw gradually until the idle reachs specified level. Do this when the car is warm.

you can also increase idle by the set screw with the nut on top of the throttle body, much easier to get to.
