I'm a little slow sometimes. A couple of random things I noticed while messing with the car didn't register fully until I was watching a video on mucking about with the alternator and stuff next to it. Turns out this car was missing an engine belt -- the one that drives the A/C compressor, which in turn drives the serpentine belt and everything else. So once I got that sucker on, half the issues were resolved, naturally.
So it drives now and I can get around, but it's tough without the power steering. I'll work on that later. I went to a muffler shop and they told me I would have to order an assembly that includes the catalytic converter. I scoped around online and found someone who would sell me one for just over $500; that's the lowest price available. Then I take it back to the muffler shop and they put it on for whatever they charge.
But we are making progress!
