There is a post on one of the British Saab sites that gives a complete description. I think I may even have posted. Assuming that your heat and AC issues are different, is the AC clutch engaging? If not, try and nudge it with screwdriver or tap it with a hammer. If it engages, it probably needs shimming. If you have a voltmeter, you can check to see if the clutch is getting 12 volts.
The trick to getting the bolt that holds the clutch off, is to supply 12 volts to the clutch from the battery. This will engage clutch, you may have to help it with a hammer tap, and allow you to remove the nut, otherwise it just freewheels. Of course if the problem is the coil, your going to have get a special tool to hold clutch. A strap wrench might work.
