Aside from the blower motor, these jobs are mostly pretty minor, actually.... the A/C will be expensive and not fun, but if you're doing the blower motor, you can do the new refrigerant retrofit at the same time and kill two birds with one stone.

If you can hang on 'til spring and are handy with tools, you can get most of this done for not too much money. Good-enough tools (Craftsman) are relatively cheap compared to shop labor. Volvo folks are helpful and willing.

However, if the car is rusty and you need to put on a bunch of miles before the weather warms up, it might be time to move on.
