...I hope you're happy with it. Looks like a fairly simple and clean install. There is one problem, however, one that big that I could not consider installing the Volvo IC in the first place: it's the plumbing. The IC pipes (in the pictures) are routed into the engine compartment so that they go under the car, behind the front air dam and enter the engine compartment near the oil pan.
Having such a setup here in Finland would mean that I would destroy the IC piping at the very first garage I would pull into. As the front axle of the 900 is pretty far in the back of the engine compartment the long nose will hit anything that protrudes from the road - speed bumps are a good example. I have scratched my front spoiler lip TENS of times, pretty seriously too, all accidentally.
When I decided to go for the front mount ic I had no other option than to install the 9000IC and position it as high up as possible. Did manage to align the top with the AC condenser (AC is still working) and this way the IC does not protrude under the front bumper at all. The pipes are the next possibly vulnerable item in the front, but did fix up some covers for them.
