Why not do it yourself? Its only a few bolts for the crank and one on the alternator! You'll save yourself about $100 in labor

Just pulled the carnk pulley, timing cover and oil pan off my 65 with 351, used only hand tools and an $8.00 pulley puller, crank pulley took maybe 15 minutes.

Believe that take a 15/16 socket, with a 6" extension, I put the socket on it and popped it a few times with a rubber mallett, make sure car is in gear with parking brakes set, to keep from engine turning over, I used the same puller for this as I do for steeering wheel removal, one with large center bolt and three arms wwith slots, put the bolt back in the centerWITHOUT the washer, put the pulley bolts backin the arm slots of the puller and tighten the large center bolt against the ballencer bolt head, ballencer will come right off.

I may have misled you a bit, if you are only going to remove the pulleys you wont need to pull the balancer, or the puller, just take out the bolts from the pulleys and balancer, change the pulleys and put the bolts back in
