Routine question... Engine swap?

Finally came to an agreement with the wife. Can keep one Saab if it's in top shape. Thinking about an interesting project... I've got a spare engine in the basement with only 50k miles. Want to throw that in the spg that is currently at about 218k. Might make the wife happy to have one with low miles. Might actually turn it into my dream car.
Questions... How long does a typical engine swap take for a first timer? I've taken them out but never had to put one in. How bad is swapping the transmission? Any special tools needed? Just picked up a cherry picker (thanks blacksheep!!!). Any other good advice from you veterans before I commit fully? Anything to definitely replace while it's out? The current engine is okay but was put together by an un-trustworthy fellow and has a few issues that worry me - crank shaft, gaskets, clutch, mixed up vacuum hoses, stuff left loose or important bolts missing, etc. Thinking that while I have this rare low mileage engine, might as well do it.
