I looked up the Genuinesaab web site and gave them a call today. They said the E85 conversion deal works best if you send them your ECU and they reprogram it for you and send it back in like two days.
Their reprogramming essentially adds a second fuel mapping to the ECU so that you can run both E85 and regular gasoline, and that the ECU will check on startup and know what to do to run optimally with either. You get a bunch more power and torque if you own an lpt, but you lose about 20-25% in overall mileage.
I asked about valves and fuel lines and he said they didn't think it was a problem, and have had modified Saabs running with it for over a year.
