Easier than most cars because you don't have to split the gearbox, but the Saab has a twist to it that most cars don't have -- you have to depress/release the fingers on the pressure plate with a piece of copper home ground wire, a 5-gallon bucket handle, or the like (or buy a special tool to achieve the same thing).
You don't remove the transmission. Instead, there is a space between the engine and the gearbox, between which the clutch is situated. You remove all the stuff in the way, pull the clutch shaft, and remove the pressure plate/disk.
Try looking on http://www.townsendimports.com for instructions, but the Bentley Saab manual is fine. There can be some pitfalls, but if you run into trouble, post here and you'll usually be back on your way with an answer pretty quickly.
A pro can swap a Saab c900 clutch in a couple hours.
