iroc 305 tBi ls swap.Need shop or person to do it?

looking at an 89 convertable iroc with the base 305 tbi auto. any disadvantage to doing the swap on a 305 tbi? if it was a 350 tpi i might just leave it alone. but being a tbi i dont mind yanking it. who can do the swap or what shops have done it? any idea on labor only on cost? i would get the donor and remove donor parts myself to help save cost. i could also buy all the parts myself before taking to person or shop.
would love to have ac and heat still. would prefer to keep factory look from inside cab. not looking to race it just want a good reliable iroc convertable that does haul *** when needed.

any recommendations on someone or a shop who can do it in socal/vegas/phoenix area?

Look into the e-rod kit. It's smog legal. Since your in California it will make smog and registration much easier.
