Mechanic 2 Make Housecall - NY Hudson Valley

The automatic tranny on my 91 900S convertible gave out. I found a low-mileage engine/5spdtranny on eBay ... thought I'd fix the car, have a 55k mile drivetrain AND get a 5 spd in the bargain. My local mechanic assured me he could do the job. I even got a Bentley manual and printed out the step-by-step procedure found on Saabnet as a guide for him.
One month later, old engine is out, interior out ... and he's stuck for an answer as to why he isn't completing the job. I know why. He's in over his head.
The car is in Cornwall, NY ... near West Point, 55 miles north of NYC.
I need someone to install the new drivetrain and hydraulics. All the parts are there including a new timing chain [since the engine is out of the car] seals, engine mounts, etc. A great guy in VT shipped all the parts necessary for the conversion, including a flywheel and clutch assembly that was missing from the donor drivetrain.
If possible, if you are a pro-mechanic, I need an opinion re: hours required to have gotten it to this point so I can settle up with the mechanic. If an overnight stay is required, I'd pay for motel ... or you can be our guest, we have lots of room.
Thanks very much!
