Lets get this 96 V-Dub back to its prime(running)

I am giving this a chance to see if I can get some help restoring this 96 jetta GLS. I bought it for a dollar. Luckily, it runs or I should say it idles. This brings up the first problem. When you depress the accelerator it chokes out and dies. I dont know if its the MAF sensor, the fuel filter, pump, injectors. Maybe someone else had this problem. Another issue that I am having is the alarm. The freak'n thing goes off all of the time, randomly. The previous owner knew nothing about wiring or steroes and tried to install a full set up himself. I dont really care about audio right now. I just want to get the car running well.
