You really didn't think out your swap, at all. Yes, the SI has a halfshaft. All B series transmissions have halfshafts. I prefer my swaps to be USDM, so I'm not totally up to speed on the CTR differences, but from what 5 seconds on Google tells me, you'll either need 99-00 SI ABS axles, or 99-00 SI non-ABS axles and halfshaft.

It's just as easy as any B series swap. Don't blame the shop because you dove into a project without knowing what it fully entailed. Everybody makes that mistake at least once in their life. I'm in the middle of one right now - I feel your pain.
From what my (minimal) research tells me, ABS was not an option in the USDM SI. If I were you, I would replace the axles and halfshaft together. When an axle gives out in the future (it will happen eventually), it'll be a lot easier to get a replacement if you already have USDM axles.
