Could you build a frame out of wood that is the same width as your old truck firewall cutout and use that as a caliper to see how and where to trim the saab? Just a thought. Maybe easier for you with the hoist and a helper than it was for me. No helper and my hoist was an engine lift with a cab lifting device attached (yup, a little jealousy noted, haha).
