3 options:

1) Do it "by the book"

Con:
not hard but VERY tedious work
many nicks and scrathes on you rhands when done
blower duct clips fly at a great rate and dissapear
Blower fan blade clips fly at a great rate and dissapear
take a day off from work (or an entire weekend)
Your back will hurt for days even if you remove the seat and put the car up on a lift

Pro:
Wonderful sense of accomplishment.
Respect and admiration from fellow 240 owners
Save anywhere $350 to $600
You cannot call yourself a _true_ Volvo enthusiast if you have never done one


2) Dremel Tool method.

Con:
Plastic bits amd dust blows out of the vents for few days
It's not "the right way".

Pro: Nobody will ever see it unless they are going back in after it again, and when they do find it, they will dance a jig!

3) PAY to have it done.

Con:
$350 to $600 depending on where you go.

Pro:
Somone else is doing it!!!!!
1 year warranty on parts, 90 days on labor.
(You don't want to do this job a third time, ever!!!!-)
