Joe, I did you disservice. I just re-read your original post and recognize the trouble you are having to be one covered by a service bulletin and repair kit. The connector on the ignition computer is known to be a poor fit, and sometime around your year (Alldata subsribers, please help here!) Volvo issued a TSB that involved adding sleeves to the pins, or certain of the pins on that connector, to ensure better contact. I guess I focused on the "covering" question. Yes, there is a bit more heat on that side of the motor, but frankly, I've never seen the harness deteriorated because of it, just that lousy ICU plug. I figure they did the free repairs, because any slop in the motor mounts and it will cause the car to die trying to make a quick left hand turn in an intersection.
