With that, the 1998 engine can run in the 2000 chassis with minimal modification.

1997 - 1999 Boxsters have a mechanical throttle cable to control the engine. Your car does not have a throttle cable visible in the pics. The 2000 model does not have a throttle cable to control the throttle body because the 2000 and later models use an electronic throttle.

I don't see a tube going from the air filter housing to the throttle body. The missing tube should have the Mass Airflow Sensor.

It's going to take some 'hacking' skill to get this to work, but it can be done.
Awesome thanks for the help now I have a good direction to head in been a big help.Thank you
