Your car is especially subject to overheating issues: if you overheat the engine, you basically throw it away due to multiple head and ring failures.

Buy the following:
-new radiator
-new hoses, including heater hoses
-new heater water valve
-new thermostat

Install them all with the existing clamps (not the slit ones you find at auto stores). Use ONLY Volvo C coolant in this engine. Keep the coolant level up. Make sure the "low coolant" sensor is working.

And drive your car another decade with confidence. BTW: synthetic oil is also highly recommended.
