The job is a little fiddly but quite straight forward with no great problems- when I done my car (same model as yours) the parts just needed a light clean, this included the catchment tank. You may also find that the flame trap itself has been removed, common practice now to leave it out.
All parts are accessible without removing the manifold.
If you have a manual then it is also covered etc.
The oil build up is a likely cause of the crank case ventilation needing a service.
With a little luck all existing parts can be cleaned and reused:
Nothing to be afraid of- give it a go.
Good luck.

The flame trap was deleted by volvo 26 years ago .
you need to think hard before removing the breather housing on the block , if the rubber pipe going down into the sump sticks to the housing it will pull up out of its clip in the bottom of the block meaning you will have to take the sump off to refit it properly.
