Hey, Erik, you have already gotten good advice from Mike. I would just add more in the same vein, since I replaced motor mounts a couple months ago. See what's available: the eBay price from RPR can't be beat (starts at $100), but call RPR to see what all they stock (aren't they ALL hydraulic?), and call IPD to get 10 seconds advice.
And, yeah, you either need a way to bully the engine from below or lift from above. Maybe get a friend to wrestle with you. See the archives of so many Volvo sites for the many ways (variations) people have gone about this.
For heaven's sake dismount as much junk from the front of the engine bay ASAP to get room to work. And belly pan. Use it as a chance to clean up, freshen grounds up forward, do any work on the lower forward part of the compartment.
OK? Good luck!
Gregg
