This webpage is a great story about the "Scratches" one of the SAN's Minister class FACs being built and delivered from Israel.

It also has a drawing of the interior of a Saar 4 showing the depth of the hull and the space for various rooms. I would say there is enough room in the forward gun bay for the Goalkeeper (but not eh aft) and since it carries a few hundred rounds of 3 inch ammo the much smaller 30x176mm shells should fit in.

If you're basing your drawing on HMS Tenacity (P276), then you should know that it was 44.0 m long and in the 220 ton region, a lot smaller then Saar 4, in fact comparable in size to the Saar 3 boats which had either 6 Gabriel SSM or 8 Harpoon, or combination , and 1 3"/62 OTO Melara gun.
As originally armed they had 2 40mm Bofors and 6 Gabriel SSM/
