Want to test your fuel pump for delivery issues, go take an onramp to a highway, even a 90degree merge on less than 1/4 tank and your car should bog right down. That was a clear tell tale sign when my fuel pump went.
An NA car would have a really rough time drying that fuel pump up unless its starting to fail or you have substantial internal engine modifications to use up .
Fuel lines - unless clogged or leaking don't even think about em.
Engine - "...that it's not burning oil, it doesn't exhibit any real unwillingness to pull hard when asked and driveability is awesome for a car with almost 337,000KMs on the clock... " Just because its not burning oil doesn't guarantee the engine is in tip top shape. Its a great sign of a motor with that kind of life on it but doesn't say everything. Hard to test a motor by the butt of your seat as well. In order to be 100% sure, a compression/leak down tester will tell you everything there is to know about what shape your motor is in.
"Also buying either AEM UEGO or Innovate LC-1 wideband to replace the "downstream", turned-off O2 sensor in my header."
Do you have a straight pipe or a cat? If youre running a straight pipe then I could understand why you want to put it there but if you have a cat then you need to add an o2 bung PRE-CAT not POST-CAT. just to be clear
