Honestly, i wouldnt let him get his hands on it again. there's almost a guarantee he will take zero pride it the work a second time, since he obviously didn't care the first. I say contact him, let him know the deal and see the parts/damage. At least ask for some compensation and bearings, rings, gasket set. Then learn how to assemble it yourself.
I did a stock '87 L98 rebuild in my garage myself. I had never done a full assembly before. I did have the cam bearings installed by a shop though, but i trusted them from the start. If i had any concerns with their work(like you do with your guy) id have taken it elsewhere for the cam bearings. After that, a light hone and assembling the bottom end is cake. But in your case, you clearly do want to have the block checked again and maybe the crank touched up but id highly suggest having that done at another shop.
