Pulling motor and tranny

[ONEBAD78TA]

So how would you guys pull a Pontiac motor out of a 78 trans am ? Engine and tranny together,,or just the engine,,and how many hours should a shop take to do it? I would pull them both at the same time,,the guy who is working on my car pulled the distributor ,oil filter mount and all of the pulleys brackets alternator power steering pump of an engine he new I was selling,,and the motor ran like a Swiss watch,,so I'm pretty pissed ,,and want to get an idea on how much a GOOD REPUTABLE SHOP WOULD CHARGE,,,he even dropped a zipp tie in the distributor whole as an added bonus so I ended having to pull it all apart and now have a garage ornament that I will rebuild later ,
