HELP, Stranded in Southern California

Last week I posted a thread about a '76 99GL I purchased from eBay that probably needed a water pump. I flew into Long Beach California this morning to pick it up and discovered that the oil is conataminated with water. I'm assuming it is a blown head gasket. (Seller claims it just happened during our ride from the airport...whatever). I have a sister that lives in Newhall, so she is letting me work on the car here at her condo. However, I need to fix it ASAP to get back to work in Seattle.
I'm wondering if there is anyone with experience in SAAB headgasket repair that would be willing to assist? I actually have lots of experience in auto repair, including headgaskets, but this is my first time working on a SAAB. I have most of the tools I need, but not all. Any advise, links to instructions for repair and so on would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Scott.
