Air Control Valve replace?

CEL recently went up and the dealer's quoting me over $400 to change the Air Control Valve. I went down to Autozone and pulled the codes, they were 2070 and 0410. Now I did some research but I couldn't find information as to whether or not those two are related and how to fix them diy if they are.

Any suggestions guys before I bring it to the dealer and hand them that 400? (which may not even fix the problem)

They both relate to the air control valves under the upper intake manifold - quite an involved job if you don't know your way around......

Have you done any work around the back of the engine lately? possibly an air line or a nipple broken?

Yeah the dealer actually replaced the engine with a reman -- but a few days after I got it back the CEL went on with the codes. Yeah I'm not sure if they somehow messed it up or if the parts due for replacement anyway?
