That's a good R&R price, and cheap for the shift kit if it's Transgo. If it is, make sure he knows his Transgo stuff - it can easily take 3 hours for a knowledgeable guy.
sounds about right but if there any way you can do it your elf try it man it's not that hard other than the damn allen heded bolts on teh stock converter

I don't think he's ever done a Transgo shift kit. He didnt seem too versed in it. He's old school, he was saying that he could just drill holes through the separator plate to give me more firmness. He owned his own Tranny shop for 15yrs.
How was the R&R, was it relatively easy, or did you have to fight it, my guy was saying that on some cars he's done the y-pipe could be a pain, and it would take longer, costing me more money....

The bellhousing bolts can be a bitch to get to, but if you have the right tools, it's a piece of cake. If he wants to drill holes to increase shift firmness, I'd recommend taking it elsewhere for the shift kit.
