Don't do it yourself. The adhesive they use is not like the 70's when you could heat it up and cut it with a guitar string. If you have no option for a new windshield, which is probably around $300 installed, take the donor to the glass shop and let them remove. They have extra long flexible paddles that attach to a recip and they can pull it in no time without breaking it.
Also for the cost of the products you need to install it properly just get it done right.
So cool that he found a CRX, those early 90's are one of my faves, great look and fun to drive! Good luck
