Mines a 10v but think it will be pretty much same as yours.
Its not that hard of a job really, more fiddly than anything especially the manifold bolts.
I only needed to buy new oil trap (£14 from volvo) and manifold gasket (£11) because after cleaning out the pipework it was all ok and unsplit etc. I was going to remove the flame trap (like volvo suggest) seen as it causes problems but someone has already removed it.
One thing I try to remember is that the engine block is alloy and very easy to strip threads. I've gotten used to working on cast iron engines up til now.
