Go to another dealer 850 1993

First, if the compressor's not noisy then I highly doubt that it's bad. Next, the car does NOT have an expansion valve, has an oriface tube which doesn't just "go bad" and is usually never replaced. Old 240s had expansion valves and that's where they stopped with Volvos. If the pressures were OK, then what's wrong with the compressor, accumulator or oriface tube? If either of those were really bad, your pressures wouldn't be normal, period.
Sounds to me like some serious double-barrel shotgun diagnostics IMHO as there's no way ALL that's why your AC isn't working right.
I'd seek out another dealer, another "real tech" at that dealership (if possible) or even try an indy who knows 850s, has actual 850 experience.
