Start with all maintenance such as oil change, coolant flush, belt changes, check vacuum hoses. Basically make sure your car is reliable before you start modding but to me you seem to have a good list for decent upgrades.
 
If you have the stock connectors at your fog lights then take it off and put tape around the connector. Otherwise mark the cables which goes where, cut them and isolate them with tape or something else
 
You won't cause a shortage just by not connecting the fog lights. You definitely want to secure it so they aren't just dangling or getting wet from water though. Good luck with the conversion!
