Apparently the AGC only had 36,864 words of rom. Looking at a random file from the github repo, each page seems to contain 50 lines. So if you put one instruction (one word) per line you could fit the whole rom inside 738 pages (assuming there's no optimization during assembly). Add some space for the comments and blank lines, and 1516 seems about right.

In any case it's doubtful a single program spanning the whole pile could fit in the AGC rom.
