It isn't a fun thing to do. Get a Haynes manual for some referance... you'll appreciate having it.. trust me.
You need to remove the timing belt as well as the cam sprockets, sensor and distributor. You'll neen to replace the front and rear cam seals as well as the timing belt as you can't reuse them (best to get the parts and pink goo right from Volvo). Also you only want a very thin coating of the pink stuff.
The hardest part is lining up the cams for reinstall. You really need a special tool to do it. I don't know how much they cost from Volvo and am trying to locate one myself. It's possable to line them up by eye to get it to run... but to run right you NEED the tool. I posted for tips on what people here have used or fabricated but it went unanswered.
The cover will not want to snap down because of the resistance of the valve springs and you'll need patience to slowly tighten the bolts down a turn or two at a time. Then install the front cam seals and sprockets... remove the tool and install the rear seals... then timing belt etc.
