Joe,
Re flushing the transmission, I'd suggest just several fluid changes. If you want to take the elaborate approach, I think Saab had a TAB outlining a flushing method, although I think it used several special "tools". I seem to remember the TSB could be viewed on Townsent Imports' website, but it seems to be down right now.
I probably would *not* replace the thermostat. Don't think there's anything in it that would be adversely affected by ATF.
Coolant hoses I'd replace, but probably not the transmission hoses. Coolant is a lot more "friendly" to rubber than ATF is - I don't think hoses designed for ATF would mind glycol at all.
One thing you might want to do is drain the ATF into a see-through container - like an empty (and DRY) 5-gallon water bottle or something. Let it sit for a bit, if there's any coolant mixed in it should settle to the bottom and be visible.
