DIY Fuel Injector replacement questions

Hi- first posting here ;) How risky is it to install new fuel injectors yourself? I just got the DIY fuel injector kit from this web site (that I trust) and was going to try and install it myself. Before I did, I asked my mechanic, whom I trust, how much it would cost for HIM to install them. Before we even go to the price he informed me that when you replace the injectors, you sometimes have to resand or buff the inner faces of the fuel injector housing thingy (forget what is is exactly - but those things you disassemble and have spring in them to hold the actual little injectors.)

1981 300D: Valve adjustment = shifting problems

Short story - a rushed valve adjust on a 1981 300D. While moving vacuum box attached to top of valve cover, ALL five vacuum lines became dislodged. And no, I didn't jot down a diagram or take a photo first. So, I put the lines back in as best I could remember, but now the inevitable shifting problems have appeared. Seems fine on level, but not so hot on hills (revs as if slipping intermittently, doesn't shift or downshift correctly some times). All was just fine before the valve adjust. And I can't find any other dislodged lines or cracked lines/connectors. I know little of this, but it seems the positioning of the five vacuum lines leading to the rubber block attached to the valve cover box is critical.

1980 W123 A/C issues

A/C doesn't work, the DEF is the only switch that works, used a jumper wire & started the compressor, works fine. There is no power at the switches on the dryer & no power at the switches on the CC console, also, the vacuum hose that goes into the 6 point distributor does not hold vacuum, what are some things I can check before taking drastic measures.
