Default Malibu Check Engine Light

I have a 2008 Malibu LT2 3.6. I am getting a Check Engine Light. I went to Auto Zone and they found an error code P0449. I then went to a Chevy Dealer and they say it needs a Canister Vent Solenoid Valve $31.60 + labor etc for total $278.28.
How difficult is it to replace this part and where is it located.

Local dealer fixed at no charge as customer goodwill. Problem was not the Solenoid but a broken wire connected to it.
