I replaced the bushings and ball joint on passenger control arm but now have extreme camber. I've heard that the two bolts on the chassis are supposed to move in slots, however I don't see no slots! Thus, how is one to adjust the camber of the wheel?

How to adjust is easy. When to stop adjusting, not so much. Be happy with the labor and parts cost you saved so far and take it to a shop.

Default Not trying to have a professional alignment right now

I'm replacing the two front cv joints, and inner and outer tie rods next week, and all 4 shocks the week after that.... When done with all that then i'll go have a professional alignment done, but for right now I have one tire that i need to adjust because it has extreme camber. However, I dont see where the control arm is supposed to slid where the bar mounts to the two studs on the frame.

The two upper control arm bolts slide in the grooves of the frame mount. That is your camber and caster adjustment on these. Your best bet is to try and line up the washers with the old outline of where they used to sit. I started there with mine. Drove decent enough to get it to a shop.
