I haven't had a lot of trouble with mine yet (touch wood) and it is an enjoyable car. To answer some of your questions:
With the ABS module,you will get a warning light or diagnostic code thrown your way. Someone who has experienced this might chip in as to how it affects braking until fixed.
There is a Haynes manual commonly used with varying degrees of satisfaction.
With the A/C,if you turn the unit off a minute or two before you get home or park for a considerable time,this helps prevent moisture from collecting in the unit which can cause problems (I don't expect that this is the only problem though).
Research here and www.volvospeed.com for common problems/fixes,in the meantime enjoy,I think they are a great car but not inexpensive to maintain.
Rick.
