That sounds reasonable to me. I paid about $250 for a remanufactured compressor. I wouldn't buy new. I just converted my '91 9000S to R-134a. I replaced the compressor, receiver/dryer, expansion valve, and the hoses. It cost me about $800. The hoses $200 I wasn't expecting, but after he flushed the system, it wouldn't hold a vaccuum. You didn't mention the receiver/dryer in your post. You should definitely replace it. If you want to get some reasonable parts cost estimates, check out http://www.thepartsbin.com.
So far I have been happy with the conversion. Although, I haven't had a real good test, as it has been wet and mild since I got the car back last Friday. My car is black, so if it will jkeep it cool, it should work fine in other Saabs.
