Default Harmonic balancer install on CTS-V

I'm looking to do this with my 112 maggie kit for 06 CTS-V. An installer today quoted 6 hrs labor to put on the balancer. He's never done one on a CTS-V and thinks it must involve removing the rad. Anyone done this mod? He is also recommending a Racetronix in-tank fuel pump kit ($400) with a 4 hr. install time. I do know dropping the tank on a Gen 1 V is labor intensive, but I hear of SO many issues with Magnavolt and Boost A Pump that I think the $800 is probably worth it.

Yep, shouldn't take near that long. Radiator does need to come out but other than that, it's straight forward.
