Default Throttle cable adjustment (for non TCS car)

I have a bit of slack in this cable...I've seached and everyone is saying there is an adjustment in the middle of the cable, well I cant find it.

Is it a different setup and way to adjust the slack on a car without TCS?

If I need to remove the clip running into the firewall, how do I get that out?

I dont have it either.What i did was put like 8 little split washers on the cable behind the gas pettle and crimped it with some pliers .I took like an inch of looseness out.I left just a little slak still.What a huge difference on throttle response,plus i did the ported throttle body at the same time.Felt like i put 20 hp on the car.
