CRX climate controls are sh!t-spensive, so I'll just figure out how to retrofit the Civic one later (good thing I have that 88 HF service manual!) and just unplug it or the battery for now. Battery chargers are sh!t-spensive too for how much I'd use it. Time to go commandeer one from the 'rents!
This is quite possible. I've interchanged them before, but there I've always interchanged the whole system, and always from a CRX into a Civic, never the other way around... I'm not entirely sure if I ever had to change any wires around (other than installing a complete harness to control all the selector motors), so I'm not going to be too much help there.

As far as the 2 wires into a single pin thing, you'll find that on a couple occasions in the CRX/Honda in general harnesses... It's best to leave them that way, if you can, because they usually go to different places.

For instance, on the DPFI injector wiring, there are two grounds, one for each injector. ON the MPFI wiring, there is only one ground, but both wires still exist... they're tapped together in the wiring.

Thanks for that.
