OK. Here goes..
Labor 300.00
Parts 207.74
Shop charges 10.00
Tax 15.24
Total 532.98
Parts
W-Belt - Timing - 55.00
Water Pump 60.00
Valve Cover gasket 9.16
P.S. Belt 7.92
Compressor Belt 12.91
W-Belt 20.51
Coolant, various oil seals and so forth.
Thought it was a pretty decent price given everything that was done -- got
it back the same day.

About three hours. Not bad. Took me ten hours first time I ever did it.
Probably actually took the tech two.
