The clicks you hear behind the drivers seat are probably the retractable antenna going down.
Steering noise is the power steering system. Old SAABs leak power steering fluid like they were designed for it. Check the level in the reservoir on the passenger-side fender. Look for spotting on the ground after you park the car to see if you have a leak. You may also want to drain the system and replace the fluid as it may just be worn out and not leaking at all.
Idle can be a tricky beast, as long as it's not on the verge of stalling when the tach plunges, it may just be a dirty AIC (air/idle control) valve, or a dirth MAF (mass air flow) sensor, or a small vacuum leak. Search the board for AIC and MAF cleaning options.
