According to the parts catalog, you should be OK. '85 Turbos have non-vented front rotors, and the part numbers for '85 900T front calipers are the same as for your '86 8-valve.
Definitely replace any hardware like the pins. You'll want to have hose pliers to clamp the brake hoses to prevent excess leakage when you remove the old calipers. Inspect the front brake hoses for cracks and replace them if they're suspect. Now's the time to do it.
Check the rubber boots on the parking brake cables and replace them if they're torn. Those are pretty much a dealer or thesaabsite.com item - not cneap, either.
Here's a link to the Townsend Imports page on front brake service. Bentley and Haynes are good references, too.
