After all that, and a set of wheels with good summer tires, I'll be going to the track for sure with a lot less concern for the car's ability to get me to the track, on the track, and back home.

I suggest the "take it one step at a time" approach. If you're not having any problems with high temps at the track, then the center radiator and S oil cooler can probably wait. Same for the under drive pulley. A few DE's at the entry level isn't likely to cook anything but as you get more experience and drive harder and faster then you'll want to address some of those concerns.
