labor?

[David.Ullrich at ferguson.com]

Anybody know how many hours the labor book calls for to R&R the AC expansion valve on a 1987 Coupe GT? What about how long it would REALLY take a competent mechanic with access to proper info and materials? My mechanic is saying he had to pull off the white air box under the hood and then drop the evaporator from there to gain access and that is was a LONG huge PITA to do. Frankly, I don't trust him at this point. After he finally finishes fixing my AC, my car will NEVER see his shop again. But at this point I just want to make sure I don't get ripped off on the labor for the expansion valve R&R.
