Not me, maybe someone else.
I have a complete '00 everything except for a '97 PCM trying to overcome PATS. I have the original '00 PCM also but I, James Henson and SCT combined were unable to overcome the PATS. Bought the early PCM as Plan 'B'.
If you have info on the EGR differences early/late this would be a wonderful place to post it.
I would try to go with the fuel system type which is easiest to get into the vehicle. Does your Volvo have two fuel lines, a return style fuel system? If it does, I would use the 97 PCM and swap the few items on the engine from a 96-98 302. That would be easy to do, and then the PATS isn't part of the system any longer.
I am planning to use a 1998 PCM for my 91 Lincoln, and I may have similar issues as you have regarding the PATS. Am I correct to guess that you had been trying to duplicate all of the PATS, wiring and all, just to get the PCM to function? Then you wanted to change the program to one with the PATS disabled?
I ask because just replicating the PATS system would be very tough, for a swap to another vehicle. My Lincoln would have the same problem. If that's the case, you and I might do better to install just pre-PATS wiring etc, and then the swap is more like other engine swaps.
