Yup, a mess of hoses is pretty accurate!
Lower radiator hose connects to your water pump. To get access, remove your AC compressor, (not the hoses to it!) and position it out of the way, on the windshield works (for a picture, see the headgasket procedure on
http://www.fixmysaab.com ) You might want to remove the AC bracket as well.
How old is the water pump? Might want to consider replacing that too...
You're correct on the T-Stat location - first, remove the AIC valve which is bolted to the T-stat housing. Either remove it from the car, or bend it just out of the way. Then, your T-stat housing is easy to get to.
Make sure you get a Saab OEM 3-way T-Stat!
Good luck, and have fun!
Jonathan
