-radiator
-A/C tensioner pulley bearings
-oil pump O-ring
What do you guys think? Is $225 reasonable?

Reasonable? You're robbing the poor guy. I had all that stuff done, except the radiator, bearings and oil pump o-ring --- oh, instead, I had one valve cover gasket set replaced -- it cost me 800+ bucks and I bought the parts!
Jump on it (if he actually sticks to it after getting into the work), then, buy the guy a six pack (of his favorite soft drink or frosty adult beverage) just so's you won't feel TOO guilty.
