I'm having a heck of a time figuring out how to use the CA and CB ports on
the 6522 as inputs. From the documentation I have, it seems the CA port
can be used for one TTL input, and CB can be used as two.
But how do you set them up as such? The documentation is confusing.
I'll sleep on it and see if either a) I wake up refreshed and figure it
out or b) wake up and find a nice helpful message waiting here ;)

This is probably incorrect for your situation, and remember, I ain't no
hardware guy yet. I wrote some firmware for an 8051 clone, a Dallas DS80C520
(IIRC). It had some pins that could be used as input or output. When using
them for input, it was necessary to write a 1 to the pins before reading
them. I know, I know, this is a totally different chip, but just maybe your
situation is similar. The reason for the write had something to do with the
way the I/O pins were built, electrically.

This looks pretty straight forward, from what I can tell.
To use the ports as inputs, you need to set DDRA and/or DDRB to 0. In the
ACR, you need to decide if you want the IRA and IRB registers to either be
whatever they are when you read them (bits 1 & 0 == 0), or if you want
whatever is on the pins to be latched on a clock edge on CA1 or CB1 (bits 1
& 0 == 1). By my reading, you can setup all pins as inputs, all as outputs,
or any mixture. The inputs attributes as set by the DDR and the IR
registers will apply to all pins that are inputs, and the reset subject to
the output rules.
The 6522 is at some base address in memory, say $C800, and occupies 16
sequential addresses. That part I'm pretty sure you already know. Here's a
link to some .tif scans from Rockwell. I couldn't find anything better in
my few minutes of searching. http://bbc.nvg.org/doc/datasheets/R6522_r9.zip

There are scanned datasheets for most all the 6522 versions at
