It's a newer engine(Good!).
Yes, the fuel rails will swap, as will the distributor (with hall sensor), and you can use your old computer, etc., EXCEPT...
The coolant temp sensor(I believe it's the rear one in the head) with the 2-pin black Bosch connector on it (as opposed to the grey Volvo one in front) is different. Use your old one. Your original sensor has a blue insulator; the one on the new motor is black. Swap these sensors with both motors out of the car.
Your car has LH2.2 injection and EZ-117K ignition; the new engine had LH2.4 and EZ-116K.
The injectors are also different part numbers, but the specs appear to be identical.
If your car's a stick, the LH2.4 flywheels, as opposed to thrust plates (for Auto) are fairly rare; use the old one and sell the flywheel, or convert to stick.
