sp3count the pairs of unshared electrons and each bondthe orbitals are directed toward the corners of a tetrahedron but since there are only two atoms the geometry is linear

Sp. The other electron pairs need to be involved in a bond to influence the hybridization.

There is no orbital hybridization in HCl. The 3pz of Cl can overlap with the 1s of H just fine; they are only 0.06 eV apart in energy, and they both transform under A1 symmetry, so they are compatible. However, the 3s of Cl and the 1s of H are too far away in energy to interact, so there is no reason why the 3p of Cl can interact with the 3s of Cl anyway. See the MO diagram here for reference:
