It's just about the same procedures as any Saab 16V engine from 1984 and up so if you have done a headgasket before, you know how to do it.
If not, you can search the C900, 9000, NG900/9-3 boards too for any and all information since it has been written about many times.
It's only about having enough tools to reach all nuts and bolts and be careful not breaking the timing chain guides and know how to get the camshaft timing back with the chain.
If you have never done a big repair like this, I say it might be wise to source it out to a shop that knows Saab's.
