Icon6 clutch squeals like a pig...and other stuff

so i bought a 95 prelude about a year ago but just barley started working on it. I don't know all that much about mechanical work and was hoping someone would help me identify/solve some of the problems i have.
it has an H22 Vtec head on a H32 block and a supposed stage 4 clutch. no P/S no A/C .

i already had to change out some ball joints(raddled at high speeds) and axle boots but am still hearing a lot of noises. here's a list of problems im having

-the clutch squeals insanely when i let it out on 1st gear. possible throw out bearing?? it sounds worse than just a bearing

-the cars RMPS dance around for 10 mins and i have to wait for the car warms up before moving it(or else its stalls). possible ECU problem?

-when shifting at 4000 RPMS or more the whole front end slams nasty. im sure im missing some engine mounts.

-if let out the clutch on 1st gear with less than 2400 rpms the car automatically stalls or shakes insanely ( im sure im driving it right, happens to others that drive the car)


heres also couple of pictures of loose and messed up things i found under the hood


just the prelude(sorry about the bit of brag)




Im pretty definite an engine mount is missing here, will it cause a big problem?




this is the first random cable i found. it comes from the harness but it was chilling around the intake manifold, ive looked and looked and looked, any idea where it goes?



this is the second random cable, it was on the other side of the intake mani, also from the harness. it seems to be connected to some little thingy thing but still dont know where that belongs



heres the third cable, its linked to the head, WHERE DOES IT GO!!!



so, thats the filter housing. it seems like the area circled has peeled back and is leaking oil im assuming. the arrow points to the oil pressure sensor im assuming? and does having an unconnected pressure sensor leak a lot of oil? the car is basically undrivable because i loose like 1quart of oil per drive.



aand finally, my driver side axle linked to the tranny. it seems to be bent. does that cause a problem or leak liquids ? theres so much crap and gunk under the engine that i cant even distinguish the oils.

thats all i can find for now. it would be super helpful and id be super thankfull if you could please answer some of the questions(and give solutions if possible) or point out other things that you see wrong. please let me know.
iv already seen vids and looked at an online prelude manual and could not find many of these things.
