time to remove intake manifold

I need to know, just how long would it take an experienced mechanic to remove the intake mani on a turboII, inspect the injectors and FPD, and put it all back together?

My mechanic is charging me for a certain number of hours, I want to see if some of you experienced wrenchers agree with it.

thanks!
