Volvo salvage yards

I'm visiting the southern US on holidays. Anyone recommend wreakers, pick-a-parts, or salvage yards in South Carolina or upper Florida, (either coast) that has a number of Volvo's in their yard, that a person is able to pick parts themselves. Where I'm from, they escort you to the car and then ask $75.00 for a 20 year old T6141 radio. Not much better is the local Volvo dealer,(who's 20 miles away), who doesn't have fuel injector seal kits and takes 3 days to get them in after you pay for them up front. I've heard that you can take a wheel barrel in and fill it up on special Saturdays. Is it worth taking my tool box with me on holiday?
The other point is, I'm driving a '91 940 sedan, so I can't pick all the good parts and bring them home with me. One person was good enough to offered to get a sway bar for me at $40.00 dollars an hour, minimun of 2 hours, plus cost of the sway bar. I'd rather do it myself. ( by the way I've never met someone who makes $40.00 per hour as a dismantler at any yard I've gone to yet).
Your leads would be appreciated.
