I am not familiar with the Volvo tracks but if you have swivels on
both sides, that's the best place to install your sliders. The
installation would be reversible then should you wish to at a later
date.

The seat warmers are tricky if you retain the seat swivels. You will
need to have enough slack in the wires so they don't break when
swivelling the seat. You might consider buying a heated seat switch
designed for the Vanagon to simplify installation. IIRC, they are
still available new from VW or used from a couple of vendors in Europe
who sell on TheSamba and Ebay.
