Default 8-Rib system for 87-91 vettes.

hey guys i have a friend that works for my shop and a fabrication shop part time and he wants 700$ or so for a semi full 8-rib system for our vettes...
here's what it comes with
Power Steering 125.00
Water Pump 100.00
Altenator 85.00
Crank 200.00
Tensioner 95.00
Blower pulley 95.00
Also this includes anodizing all parts in alum.

Does this sound like a good price or not?

Also he does not make a 8 rib for the air conditioning so that is the only down fall for all of this!

Well, I don't think he is going to cut it. Auto Specialties Performance quoted me 650.00 without the a/c pulley. With ac 750.00.

He needs to provide the AC pulley in that price range to be competitive.
