Looks like you've covered everything but .....the ignition switch?
Wiring can seem complicated but finding where the voltage stops is not. A $10 test light/probe and a 30 minute google or youtube session on how to use it can help you solve most of your electrical problems. These cars actually have pretty basic electrical systems, the wiring seems a bit excessive though.

Yeah, that's a possibility I'm going to try and rule out after I can check the neutral start switch. Although, it would seem power is traveling past the ignition switch since it's clicking over near the ect/ecu somewhere...

You would be better off investing in a good repair Manuel. One with a diagnostic section. If car will not start check a then b then c. It may be a very simple thingy. You should not start off replacing expensive parts hoping it is the failure. Think you can take things like starters down to some automotive shops to be checked. Guys think with your brains, save your money for tickets and insurance.
