Ernie Martin is an unknown quantity at this point
That's not the original question you asked (how much is entailed in removing the wings and tailbooms?). Removing just the tailbooms (not the wings) should reduce the labor, but I don't know by how much. (I worked on and compiled the SID work I referenced, but I did not contribute to the man-hour estimates.) Perhaps others will jump in here and provide estimates for removal and re-install of the tailbooms. We just removed and re-installed the rear engine on my normally aspirated 337G and it took about 22 man-hours. That's not all A&P (read: expensive) manpower, because one A&P and one mechanic-apprentice (supervised by the A&P) worked well.
