It's located on the transmission, under where the shift cables mount to on the transmission.

I couldn't find a diagram so I found a picture and circled the VSS in red.

I pulled the image from s.cali alan auto-to-5spd write-up, if this is a problem let me know and I'll remove it

I don't think you need to remove the IM. Just unbolt the intake from the throttle body and move that out of the way. Maybe even disconnect and unbolt the sift cables from the tranny to give you more room.

I'm sorry, I'm kinda drawing a blank right now as to what else could be in the way.

yep, they are probably charging for a couple hours of labor and the part plus some sorta of mark-up I would assume.
