Check and check!
Slid the engine side couple the rest of the way off, cleaned it up with a wire brush, some carb cleaner, and a towel. Looked good as new when I was done. Filled it up with grease and slide her back on. Boots are in good shape, and I'll take your advice on the zip ties. Right now, she's just waiting for the engine to be dropped back in after a couple little odds and ends are straightened up.
On the other end (of the drive shaft), just a snap ring holds the drive shaft/CV to the hydro pump?
