Default This 88 CRX is a mess

Recently bought an abandoned project off of someone today.

what i do know:
88 crx hf with f22a4 swap (mounted at least)
hubs were replaced with the dx/si ones for better braking.

Missing distributor and cv axles. Figuring out what else hasn't been completed yet currently.

engine doesn't worry me, but does anyone know the easiest way to get compatible cv axles? Do i just need to make sure inner and outer boots are compatible? Or do i need to weld the actual shafts together?

Got up early before work, took a good look at everything and i think I've got my game plan to stay pretty low cost for now. I think I can get it up and running within 1 month, even with time constraints from work.

A lot of the parts are there, but were removed during engine swap. Definitely need to finish obd1 swap, redo wiring in some areas, fix distributor and then get everything along serpentine belt put back on. Any advice on not using power steering or ac?

Advice for not using ps or ac?
slap yourself for buying an f22 swapped Crx and contemplating air conditioning lol
And you don’t need power steering It’s only useful for parallel parking and three point turns

Honestly, can't tell if you are just trying to berate me or not.

Moving on.
The car has most of the parts sitting in the interior of the car. I've confirmed almost everything is there. Everything along along serpentine belt is not installed. My biggest issue right now is that there is not enough clearance for the pulleys.

Any advice?
