Sorry, I guess I was responding to the question of how involved moving the compressor aside was and not whether it was essential to do so. As others have said here, it's not essential but some of us find it helpful and worth the effort. It's usually best to unbolt the bracket from the engine and swing the compressor and bracket aside, that's often easier than removing the compressor from the bracket, three bolts and only the bottom one is difficult. If that hole has been slotted (Saab techs usually slotted those when they had them off to make them easier to deal with) then all you need to do is loosen the bottom bolt a few turns, remove the top two and lift the bracket and compressor up and out. But you can certainly replace the water pump with that AC stuff in place if so inclined.
