Don't worry about the parts, just start getting seat time.
Most important part of autocross is the driver. Best prepped car with the worst driver is going to get worked over by a great driver in an underprepped car.
Most of us didn't start down this path, but it's really the 'right' way to get into the sport.
If you're going to get more serious about autocross, recognize that a lot of parts will start dumping you into higher classes (= more competitive/expensive to compete). Metal bushings take you right to Street Modified, for example. If you're just running for fun, then no worries.
As for as alignment, put in 2.5* (or more, if you want) of camber in the front, 7* caster, 0 toe. (assuming this is not a dedicated car). In the back 1-1.5* camber and some slight toe-in -- 1/16" or so.
Tires are the next most important part of autox after the driver, but you will learn a lot even on mediocre tires. I spent my first two years on 595s and they're fine to learn on.
