How to tell if a 9000 has TCS or not

I have seen this question asked far too many times, so I'm going to clear up any future confusion. TCS cars have different throttle bodies that are vacuum driven, while non-TCS cars have throttle bodies that are directly cable driven (from the gas pedal). TCS cars also have 2 safety valves, one on the false firewall, and one on the fender next to the battery.
Side note, SAAB was supposed to have cleared up all of the dreaded TCS issues for the last year it was offered (1995). TCS was standard for ALL 1993 models, then became optional for 1994, 1995, and 1996 models. It was discontinued for the 1997 and 1998 models. Someone correct me if I'm wrong about those years.
This picture should clear up any confusion.
