A half radiator would be needed. If you are willing to cutting the front sheetmetal, then most manifolds wil work.

Log or mini-ram manifold with a 1/2 rad for the least amount of cutting. EF's are tight enough to begin with...consider yourself lucky you don't have a B-series.

Do without. My buddy drove his crx around without a front crossmember for a little bit. Needless to say the couple times we drove around in it it felt like it wanted to fall apart but that made it more fun.
