So what help do you need?
You can't run the engine without the snap ring holding the oil pump cover in, period.
The best would be to find a Saab mechanic and have them evaluate the situation and probably replace the timing cover and oil pump.
This is a very big operation and many things goes hand in hand like replacing the cylinder head gasket at the same time together with balance chain sprockets, chain and guides and timing chain and guides and cleaning out oil pan and pick up screen.
If your engine has been using and leaking oil I would also suggest to throw in a new set of piston rings when the oil pan is dropped.
