It could be done in a couple of hours easily, probably less than an hour. I took their linkage apart and put never seize on all of the threads also. I took longer because "while I am at it" took over on me. I changed the tranny fluid and adjusted the exhaust system to give me more clearance near the tranny.

BTW, I've got that tape and haven't forgotten about you. It's at my shop and I haven't been back there in a couple weeks. Be patient.

I popped the spacer off and the linkage just dropped right into place. I adjusted the linkage at the clutch fork to have no slack. I have yet to drive the car but will post my findings after I refill the tranny and it quits raining. This thing should be a sweet setup. 
Think you could snap a couple pics Eddie?

Lower Linkage
Upper Linkage
All of the parts in the kit. I did go over to grade 8 stuff for most of the install and added nyloc nuts.

I had no idea it was that dusty in there. I guess I need to spend some time in there cleaning some of that up.
