Just tell him to work off the engine number, he is just being lazy. The vin number or reg number is kept with a lot of part suppliers to make getting the right part easier. He has the engine number and the year tell to take that info and use it:thumb:

If he hasn't taken it apart or order parts for it yet, get it back from him. It shouldn't cost you anything.
