'81 (8-valve) air filter assembly

I'm new to Saab, and although I have two now (an '81 900i sedan and a '85 900 T16 Aero Turbo), I found that replacing the air filter on the Turbo is a dawdle - unsnap 6 clamps and lift it out - easy! How the heck is the air filter replaced (easily) on the '81 (C1 injection)? There are no clamps, only 6 or 7 screws that hold a lid on to the filter tank, and another few screws holding the fuel distrubution system to that! This is nuts - It's an old car, and the last thing I want to do is go and break brittle plastic fuel injector lines because the filter is dirty and it requires that half the fuel system be moved aside to get to it.
Is this the norm? Please advise...anyone...and thanks!
