It's not too difficult
Well first of all you shoudl tell us atleast what tranny your gonna be using and engine, or else there is so many different things you would need depending on what engine/tranny swap u want to do. First of all go get a clutch pedal assembly for the 88 crx dx, get that mounted with the clutch cable attached to the pedal but not the tranny. Then decide on what engine and tranny you want, say if you were gonna do a zc swap like me, get the zc motor and the Si tranny (easier to install). Then get the manual flywheel which is thicker, with the bolts which I think there is 6 of them. Then get the clutch and pressure plate, and replace pilot bearing and throwout bearing. Then attach the clutch to the clywheel with the 6 or 8 bolts that bolt it down. Then drop the engine in with the tranny attached and also the mounts bolted on. Then get the cv axles for a manual tranny for an 88 crx dx. Then you may have to get a manual intake manifold with throttle body, if it is from an automatic, you can use an automatic but it just does not run as smooth. Then you will have to get the manual shifter, with the two rods that attach to the tranny to shift gears, make sure you get the pin for the shift rod, most of the time it is in the tranny. This is a basic procedure of what to do, of course you will have to attach the speed sensor and everything, but I hope you know how to do that.
