Hello and welcome.
More than likely when you two changed oil, a vac line became dislodged somewhere. So first do a close inspection. I believe the engine diaphragm you refer to is a shut off valve. Take a look at the brown vac line coming from the bottom of the injection pump (IP), pull it out from the connector and see if there is any oil inside, this is an indication of a failed shut off valve.
The A/C is a common failure, and rather expensive. Also, with a 240 the engine is working very hard propelling itself down the road, the extra load of the A/C may give you pause about it's worth.
Fog lights can be pricey, so if you can find one at a junk yard, that's the way to go.
Steel wheels are hard to come by, I think.
I don't believe I've seen a push bar on the front of these, but years ago folks would rally race 'em, so maybe there's something out there. Just keep in mind that would be adding extra weight in front of the car.
I can't help with the WVO, but like the price of fuel! Hope it works out.
