eEuro sells the hose set for reasonable price (under $20 before shipping). Look under cooling system - they are same part for all years, but on eEuro site sometimes a part can be left off one model year 9-5 and show up on other years.
The picture DIY's don't seem to be out there, but check FixMySAAB for the by pass valve DIY. Search MacKay and SWEDECAR - Anders has multiple references on how to. I just did this on a 2006. Remove the battery (quick and easy) and then loosen three nuts to rotate the fuse box out of the way. Unplug and remove connectors for the ECU harness as you would to replace the BP valve, and "pull back" the ECU wiring harness to give access. Like Anders suggests, use a new sharp knife (X-Acto or similar) to cut the hoses right at the firewall. The shorter MacKay hose goes on the bottom - and pay attention to Anders' advice to use silicone on inside AND outside of hoses when you fit them to get the clamps to move over the hose and hose barbs.
Best of luck !
