This is very repairable. Am a little surprised that it pulls to the right--must be a bit more damage than the photos show, but a good alignment may fix that. Is there damage underneath?
The head and corner lights are an easy repair, and fenders are readily available. I needed a LF in January after a guy backed into me. The body shop called a yard, got a fender and painted it. Bumpers are also easy to find. I think I paid $100 for one on a daughter's car a few years back. They bolt right on, no biggie. The AC may just have a leak, judging by the hose, or the electrical connection may be damaged. They get fragile with age.
The hood latches probably got distorted or moved which is why the hood is hard to open. Am dealing with that now on my car due to minor bump with another car. They have a fair bit of adjustment room. You may have to futz with headlight alignment/aim because the mounting points for the headlight buckets are distorted, but also fixable.
See what you can get for money and keep it on the road.
