Many of those signals are analog (metered on the dash) on the car already, so it would require an A/D converter and associated led logic. A PIC would do both.

On the items that are not readily analog available (such as water level in the radiator or vacuum), you will have to create some sort of circuit that can either measure it directly, or get it off the car's computer, if that particular data is available to it, which may be quite involved (I am not familiar with your particular car's computer).

For the vacuum use a MAP sensor (manifold absolute pressure) from a chevy engine, 1990s from a junk yard. Easy to work with V+, ground and a variable voltage output.
