It's not uncommon to remove the distributor to get at the top two bellhousing bolts. If the distributor wasn't replaced in EXACTLY the same position you can get those 2 codes. Check the cam retard angle with a good scanner or Car Gauge Pro App. should be 0° +/- 2°.
Another possibility is they left it in when lowering the trans and cracked, bent or some other way damaged the distributor or cap, rotor, CMP sensor or a combination.
I'd take it back and demand they fix it.
Your distributor is not installed correctly. P1345 indicates that it is off at least a tooth. Did a quick search for you. Read the second post on this thread by Captain Hook: https://blazerforum.com/forum/2nd-ge...uestion-83333/

Very good explanation. One thing I didn't see mentioned was that the Cam Retard Angle must be set above 1000 rpms. Probably just missed it.
Car Gauge Pro app is an inexpensive app that when used with a cheap Elm 327 bluetooth adapter and your phone will read all the data just like an expensive scanner.
Including cam retard angle.

I meant to also echo olddeerslayer's second possibility that if they didn't remove the distributor, then it either got damaged during the tranny install or the power/signal/ground wires for the CMP got damaged. If you're not paying attention and you drop the rear of the engine too much the distro will mash up against the firewall. Either way, your problem lies with the distributor.
