I just did all of mine in my '95 900. I bought all the hoses from eeuro. Pretty straight forward swop. I bought all new hose clamps too. If you are doing the hoses, you may want to consider the water pump too. The toughest hoses to get to are the heater core hoses that feed the heater in the cabin. Nestled under the steering rack, getting to the hose clamps are tricky. I did mine by reaching up under the car, then wiggled the hoses off from the top.
The biggest issue I had after removing all the hoses, was corrosion on the aluminium connections. It looks like the previous owner had used stop leak or similar, and all the aluminium parts were coated in either crispy green deposits, or brown sludge. There is a "U" shaped hose right under the power steering pump. The lower connection coming out of the water pump was particularly bad (I have pics!) with really bad deposits. Once the deposits were cleaned up, there was really bad corrosion pitting on the water pump, to the point where I had to order the "back end" of the water pump. (I should have just ordered the whole kit - water pump and backend (9187691)). Cleaning the connections with sandpaper is tricky, but can be done.
I have yet to do a cooling system flush (car is still inoperable due to frozen brakeline coupling!), which is next on my list.
HTH.
As a footnote, I also opted to do the ps pump and all PS hoses too at the same time as the PS hoses were leaking.
