I've seen one at my dealer - the gearbox was removed - but, sorry, I don't have any details on the proceedure, or how long it takes.

It takes 5 hours (labour rate at least) to fit a clutch.

20 hours is what they tell you but it can be done in 5-6 hours by a good mechanic. The engine remains in the car. If the dealer is telling you that the engine has to come out they are full of crap.

A complete 15,000 mile service on a Gallardo will cost you < $1000.

Ya gotta love it!
