no 3 is the best choice, but a little awkward.
"I would have been haunted by feelings of /remorse/regret/guilt if I hadn't done what I know I should have done"
You do not haunt yourself you feel haunted by the emotions and actions of something you either did or did not do in the past.
Or use the word hate hated myself for a natural shorter crisper more concise sentence. As suggested by Jacque Cilliers.

Did you mean haunt or hate?
We don't usually haunt ourselves.

You could also say “It would haunt me if I didn’t do what I needed to.”

No 1 is partially correct. You can't haunt yourself, but rather be haunted by feelings, emotions or "spirits". The correct way of writing it would be; I would be haunted if I didn't DO what I thought I should have done.
