Need to pressurize the brake master cylinder with a power bleeder hydraulic brake and clutch pressure bleeder. You do not pump the clutch to get the air out on a Saab. Whenever I take apart a clutch system I replace the line if it's any older than 8 or 9 years and if the clutch master is also old you need to replace it as well those rubber bits and hoses deteriorate and usually make the slave cylinder go bad. The rebuild kit is just 3 orings I think there's several places like autohaus AZ ,parts geek. Put it into Google I'm sure there's several places that I'm not naming. The power bleeder is the best tool for bleeding those clutches you just fill the power bleeder up with fluid tighten it to the brake reservoir cap it pushes brand new fluid through the whole system and removes all the air. Now if you're putting a brand new clutch master cylinder in it you will want to bench bleed and get the air out of it and then use the power bleeder to get all the air out of the line and the slave cylinder. Definitely rebuild the old slave cylinder. Best of luck.
