Sounds very interesting...

Not sure if the trans is different or not, I would assume you would need to replace the trans.
Obvious things are PCM & BCM (which will cause difficulties, since BCM is different on the SAAB; you would have to get the SAAB PCM VIN changed) + coolers, harness, etc. May not be worth the work. Just going from a 2.4L to an ecotec was a lot of hassle.
