Now, 33 years later, do i still need to pay the "bride-price" to clear my conscience or consider it "done" because she left me without my paying the bride-price first?

The bride price is paid to compensate the bride's father for the loss of his property, the daughter. If she refused to marry you, then you took no property from him and you do not need to pay the bride price. Her husband must pay. So that's the good news. The bad news? You need to be stoned to death for fornication.
