I have a 1992 9000CD and I think it is the same compressor, a Sanden SD709. Try this site: http://www.directauto.com/category-exec/category_id/43/search_year/1990/
And try this site for information on the correct oil, etc. for Sanden compressors: http://www.sanden.com/support/
I converted mine to R134a last year and it has worked great, seems colder than the R12. I used the oil recommended by Sanden and changed the receiver/dryer, O-rings and the expansion valve as well as flushing the lines with some AC solvent I got from NAPA. Pricey, but it cleans well and evaporates quickly.
I believe eEuroparts.com has the compressor also. It's not cheap anywhere. I got the O-ring set from The SAAB site (they have compressors too) but the retrofit kit contained oil that wasn't the right weight according to Sanden. I got the oil at Autozone and used that.
