The drag and antireverse functions are integrated together, and the drag is automatic when engaged.  I don't believe it was ever adjustable. 

Some models did have adjustable, 2 position clickers that were actually softer when reeling in, and louder when line paid out (under drag).

I have never tried to disassemble these mechanisms, but I might try on my surf reel sometime.
