question for the mechanics out there

im getting my underdrive pulleys, electric fans, and ceramic headers put on this morning and was wondering what a good time would be for installation on this entire project. I am not doing this myself simply because i want it done right and do not have the aptitude or the tools to do all of the items (lift to get to headers, tools for most of the d@mn project). The guys i get to do most of my work quoted between 8-10 hours and im thinking that it shouldnt take more than 7.
pulleys-1 hour
headers-2 hours
fans-4 hours

since these are pros....any comments????

also getting my exhaust bent so its level with the bottom of the truck instead of hanging down. It was about an inch away from the leaf springs cuz of the lowering kit. i had no choice but to point it at the ground.

I think that is fair... exhaust work is a real pain, if he is quoting you 2 hrs for hearders on a 5.4, I'd hold him to it....I think 4hrs on the e-fans may be a liitle excessive.

none of those mods seem that hard to do, they do come with instructions don't they?

Do you know why it's been taking so long?
