Mark,
I replaced the compressor on my 96 850 last year after trying several electrical circuits designed to reduce the power to the clutch after pull-in, but with limmited success. The clutch had worn and would not pull in when hot. I got the compressor on Ebay and it had a smaller clutch gap than mine did. So far it is working but I had to bypass the overheat switch, it failled open. There is a write-up on how to remove the clutch without discharging the system but I have not tried it yet. I think it posted on VolvoSpeed. It's tough to get at the compressor mounting bolts but it can be done with 1/4" drive sockets using universals and extentions. You remove the radiator mounting bolts and move it forward to get room to drop the compressor down.
If you are interested in more info contact me off line.
