Wasn't his car (earlier) converted from auto to manual trans?

No - it was a ZF 4-speed... and that trans is short.
The Getrag 5-speed transmission that I have going in is longer, so the DL needs to be shortened accordingly (to fit the space left).....

drive lines and angles are fun (not)
When I (well, we, I didn't do this work alone) singled the Volvo not only did I need a new drive shaft fabricated, I also had to rotate (shim) the drive axle as it was no longer connecting to the middle diverter axle.
