Start with a beginner method book. It doesn't matter how many years you've played clarinet, you are a beginning saxophone player now. It's what I did when I first started teaching. I would play through the method with each instrument until I was comfortable with it. Other that that the fingerings should be very familiar, especially in the clarion register. Just remember to take it slow and focus on progress, make sure each rep sounds better than the last. Most importantly, find some saxophone players to play with. Whenever you're trying something new, or even something you've been doing for a long time you will always learn the most from spending time with those who have more experience than you.
​
P.S. If you need a recommendation for a beginning method I recommend the Ed Sueta Band Method. It is very old but still widely used, and for good reason. Otherwise you can use whichever method you used in middle school to learn the clarinet since you would already be familiar with the approach.
