The problem is they are always far too busy. I understand why as they seem to be the go to place for anyone on the west coast. I figure a job like this any competent shop could do the work, I just don't know of any.

Well I definitely need at least a fan and shroud setup made for me as I don't have a shroud right now and just two fans stuck to it lol. I just don't have any room for anything at the moment that is my problem. I need someone to get creative.

There is a guy I have done some track days with. His name is Frank Dupon, works at a place called stage six motorsports in Van Neyes. He does LS swaps in lots of cars. Maybe give him a call. http://www.stage6ms.com/

CMS is well known and has a great reputation, which is why they are always busy.

Having said that, since your project is going to involve custom/fab work, I'd keep looking, especially, if you're looking to get your car back on the road ASAP.
