Whatever $$ you come up with, add 30% for suspension odds and ends, axles, exhaust troubles, starter or alternator or both, fuel lines etc... Assuming you are certain the headstuds are all good or the engine was recently rebuilt.

Da Vinci nailed it. There’s $5k worth of add ons and possibly another $5k worth of ‘oh $hit’ stuff
That list, to me looks like $6k in labor. AC stuff isn’t difficult but it is a lot of time. And you really should do a valve adjustment and I’m sure there will be plenty of seals and gaskets that’s should be tended to.

OP stated he wanted labor only. I'd agree with your $10K estimate for parts and labor

Our aircraft mechanic doesn't charge that hourly wage.....
I spent 2k on labor with my independent P-car mechanic here in S Florida. I provided the suspension parts. All back to stock, nothing more.
