Amen and thanks for bringing us back to Earth.
Just to add to your very thorough post, be aware of the differences in carb choke mechanisms. If you use an aftermarket carb it will almost certainly have an electric choke. If you go this way, you'll need to install an additional oil pressure switch so that the choke only gets power if the engine is running. If you don't do this, turning the key on but not starting the car will cause the choke to heat up and open, causing a hard starting situation when you do try to start the car.
If your car only has an oil light, replace the sending unit with this one:

This sender was used on the Vega which had an electric fuel pump. The center terminal on the sender connects to your idiot light wire. The other two terminals are an on/off switch for the fuel pump, or in your case the electric choke.
If you're running an oil pressure gauge, you'll need to install a tee fitting, screw the gauge sender into one leg and this sender into the other. Use just the two outboard terminals in that case.
