Is this on a car that originally had the wiper motor or are you fabbing up headlight wipers on a car that never had it before? Also, please add if this is for the right (passenger side) or left (driver side). The procedures are different.

I haven't done it yet, but might have to, soon.
I've done some research, though, and found a very interesting write-up on
our Swedish cousin's(Saab) web page:

Not identical, but very informative and pics are fantastic.

MIJ, I was curious of how to remove the wiper motor from the passenger side of my 94 850, I successfully removed the drivers side motor but there doesn't seem to be enough room to maneuver on the passenger. I believe its an AC hose restricting space, but I didn't know how to go about it.

It's a bit of a pain. Rather than me try to explain, I'll just post a diagram w/explanation:
