Default ac programmer installation?

What would you say is a reasonable price for ac programmer installation on a 90?

After contourting myself like a pretzel, I'd pay $300

I have to admit it...one of the most difficult places to work at. You need two hands but room for only one. I had trouble breathing because I was bent and twisted. After several hours, it was done. Hated it....the least difficult part was pulling out the drivers seat. I'd pay right now at least $300. labor if it went out again. (maybe more)

Maybe if the cirque du soleil is in town you can find a performer who wants to make a few bucks on the side.

Damn, I'd do a programmer removal and install for $300. I've done that twice so far on my 89, and didn't have too much trouble. I didn't even pull the driver seat. It wasn't real fun, but I wouldn't pay someone to do it.

I did mine the biggest problem is removing the push fastener that holds the vacuum tree.

I don't remember having that much trouble replacing mine . But if you're going retail that sounds about right. I have an extra in box if needed..
