Campagnolo cranks - easy question

Hello, I am still learning about all of this, so please bear with me for this question.

I am just starting to build up my first road bike (the first one I'll have built, not owned) and I am trying to do all campagnolo parts for the drive train. Anyway, I have access to a some 9 speed campy record stuff (brake shifters, front+rear hub) at my local bike co-op, so I was going to go that route. But I have a problem, I am unsure of how to pick out a crank for this bike. I am going to get that off eBay since the only one in the shop is $140 and I'm sure I can pick one up cheaper online. I want to get a campy record crank for this bike, but I think I need to get a newer one to work with the 9 speed chain right? Or can I just get chain rings since all campy cranks seem to use 135 BCD? What's my best bet? Is there any way on knowing if a complete crankset will work without having to swap chainrings?

Sorry for the silly question, like I said, I am a newbie when it comes to mechanics.
