It can be done, and Saab even has a procedure for doing it along with a Special Tool to support the engine while the tranny is out from underneath. But no one does it this way. For one thing, you need to have the car at least two feet in the air just to get the tranny out from underneath, and that's assuming you have something to support it down there and lower it out. Conveniently, Saab has a special tool for this too. But you don't have it... :)
Do it the conventional way. Most heavy equipment rental places will be happy to rent you an engine hoist for not much money - $25 a day or something, and such activities are definitely a 1-day affair if you have everything in order.
