Well, I just completed the installation of the new Bosch #15735 oxygen sensor in our 1994 9000 Aero. A problem that I encountered was that if you wish to splice in a new sensor (instead of using the pricey sensor with the Saab connector)the amount of wire that you have to work with to do the splicing is a bit short. So to make the job a bit easier (i.e. not to have to be continually bent over when you do the splicing) I removed the 13mm bolt that attaches the oem sensor wire to the engine near the front passenger side of the engine (just below the a/c compressor). This bolt is tough to see and tough to get the socket on, but once you remove it you can pull the sensor wire up next to the top of the serpentine belt and have plenty of wire to work with, in a comfortable position, to do the splicing.
The Posi-lock wire connectors that came with the #15735 sensor made the splicing job very simple. Whether they were worth the $40 premium over the O2 sensor without any electrical splice connectors is another question. But at any rate, doing this job yourself for the cost of the sensor alone, versus having an independent mechanic do it for about $280 (using the saab harness O2 sensor) makes it a pretty gone money saver.
