It's probably doable. BUT...you would need ALL of the A/C parts from a '91 or newer 240. I'm not sure how much work it would be to change the evaporator. The systems are completely of a completely different design. For '91 and up, Volvo switched to the accumulator/oriface valve type system. Older 240s have the receiver-dryer/expansion valve type system. Besides the compressor and condensor, I don't think any other parts are interchangeable.

Read the Hayne's Heat and A/C Techbook for a good general description of the different A/C systems.
