hey anyrude10_ - I discussed w/ kskels and evgenyl, and here are our suggestions, from easiest to hardest :)
1. use the airsloop manifests, as-is.  They are geared toward two baremetal servers, which is what you have.  The downside is that they are not configured for HA services, ingress certificates, etc - but that's exactly why they're easy  to start with (less configuration, less hardware needs)
2. use the airship-in-a-bottle multinode script, on a single host.    This spins up four VMs by default (three control plane, one compute), which would give you the opportunity to test resiliency if that's what you're after.  You would need to configure pod replica counts to be HA -- that's not hard to do.  It would also be pretty easy to configure more compute nodes if you want.
3. use the seaworthy manifests.  This is what you'd want if you really wanted to test a production-grade deployment, and it's configured by default for production-grade assumptions -- certificates, bonded network interfaces, etc.  It's configured for 3 control / 3 compute by default, but could be easily tuned down to four servers (3 control / 1 compute) if you wanted to validate resiliency of the control plane.  It will take work to configure the manifests for your own site
