-engine / tranny mounts
-shocks
-front and rear suspension bits and pieces
-AC evaporator

what would the grand total be for the list of repairs?

I think the list would be a little different depending on if it's an M103 or M104 engine.
The M103 would have to include valve seals and stems. On M104's they never go bad.
M104 engines have a throttle actuator, and the cruise control functions is part of the actuator.
M103's would need a new cruise control and whatever unit preceeded the actuator. (idle control valve??).
