Well, if it really is a load module, I'd suggest delinking it into an object deck. Potentially suitable delinkers are available at cbttape.org.
The one I'm most familiar with is David Noon's delinker which ended up being called DELINKI (to distinguish it from the the OS/360 era DELINK0, which I believe was enhanced in due course to cater for 31-bit modes).
The reason I am more familiar with it is because REVIEW can invoke it dynamically. In this usage scenario, you would display the member list with a REVIEW program.library command, tag the relevant member(s) with the necessary T selection code(s) (or else have every member delinked), and then issue the DELINK primary command.
Program DELINKI would be dynamically invoked to delink the selected program(s) into the nominated output data set (a detail which I did not mention before).
For your situation, I'd expect that you would be better off just downloading and "installing" CBT file 90 and figuring out how to run it as a stand-alone utility to delink the CSECT of interest. If I can figure out how to call it dynamically, it can't be that hard to run it in its own job step.
