Nice deal! I did the same thing with a Black/Tan one this time last year. Is this a manual or auto? You might want to look at quasimotors.com if you haven't already. Townsendimports.com is also an excellent resource for detailed technical docs. I would say that based on my experiences / failures with this vintage (I have 2 '91s and a '92) I'd address the following items since you're pulling the engine:
If Manual - Clutch / Master / Slave Cyl (definitely use Saab original)
Aeroguy's lifetime flex hose fix (nice one)
If Auto - Flush 3 times minimum
Engine mounts (Saab hydraulic are the best in my opinion... I used solid once and sort of regret it due to vibrations)
Timing chain sprockets / tensioners / guide (read Anders' post about overheating)
82 degree thermostat / Mercedes coolant
Clean intake manifold / IAC valve
Upper and Lower radiator hoses (check all engine rubber for that matter at this age)
Head gasket
Rear main seal (it's really not that bad if you take your time and do it right)
Serp belt / pulley / tensioner
Fuel / Air Filter (K&N gives a nice little boost in HP)
Clean electrical connections! They will bite you later for sure :)
There are a lot more things I'm sure, but I tried to point out the main ones that will be good to do while you have the engine out. Hope it helps!
