If you really want to improve it, try an electric fan.
The performance loss is normal. Partly caused by the drag from the A/C pump, but also because of the extra heat the AC condensor is dumping out. This causes the clutch fan to grab, which kills a lot of the torque.. The Volvo clutch fan is far too agressive in my opinion. Since I installed an electric fan in mine it has tons more power when the weather's hot.. Especially with the AC on.
