have '92 9000S, i.e. non-turbo.
If you don't have climate control, then the high fan problem is due to a blown fan control resistor pack, not too much to replace. However, if the reason for the blown resistor pack is due to old age of the fan motor, then you are talking about more $$$ plus $$$ labor. If you need to replace the fan motor, you may just as well replace the heater core while you are in there.
As for the leaking AC, I had a similar problem in the '92, it was due to a bad AC hose. The hose was $$$, the labor was $, and recharging it with the almost extinct Freon was $$$ also. The compressor usually is pretty durable and if the AC clutch and other things are working fine, chances are the hoses maybe leaking.
If you are farming all these things out to an indy or a dealer, your total bill can run from $1,000 to $2,000 (parts and labor included). The AC hose, if it is indeed the problem runs a few hundred dollars. I guess if you know what parts need to be replaced, you could order them from eEuroparts or other Saabnet sponsors then give them to an indy for $$$ labaor.
