The '79 240 is a good car, and if it has been well maintained, 195k should not scare you. A '79, especially a carburated version, is not technicallogically advanced, as say an '82, but it should be a good car for you. I had a '76 I drove for many years, and enjoyed having it.

As for the a/c, as long as the compressor is free spinning, fix it or not -- doesn't matter. IPD, an American company , sells an adapter for the fan belt pulley which will enable you to remove the balt going to the a/c compressor. Such a modification would completey remove your worry about potential frozen bearings, etc. You might want to check on that; I do not know if it would apply to your particular model of car or not.

Volvo are addictive! Enjoy.
