I think I messed up my wiring a bit...

The only other thing I've done to it since the last time it ran was disconnecting the emissions and switching the exhaust over. Would any of the electrical connectors from the emissions affect it starting?

This should do you, it's what I did but now I run a toggle.
...'84-'85 12A carbureted models... The fuel pump was controlled by the "fuel pump cut relay", which was controlled by the rotary engine's ECU. The "fuel pump cut relay" is no longer needed and can be removed. When it is removed, the following modifications are required at connector B-06, which formerly plugged into the removed relay.
.........black w/ white stripe... This wire comes from a 20A fuse that gets it's power from the ignition switch in the "start" & "run" positions. Connect this wire with the blue w/ white stripe wire in this B-07 connector.
.........blue w/ white stripe... This wire goes to the "+" side of the fuel pump. Connect this wire with the black w/ white stripe wire in this B-07 connector.

If you removed the rats nest, removing the ECU should have been apart of that.
To those that don't believe it has an ECU, what do you think controls all of the emissions crap?

Do I run a wire from the negative on the battery to the negative on the fuel pump, or do I just ground the fuel pump to the chassis?

Run just a positive, but if the ground is bad on it, for some reason then you would need both.
I had a similar problem on my 83, turned out the outlet on the gas tank rusted enough to not allow fuel to be sucked out, the pump was just sucking air.......

I had to completely rewire my pump in the 85... Damn I wish I'd known about the ECU jumper. That would have saved me lots of time and the pain of finding someplace to stuff a damn relay.
By the way, my pump drove me crazy until I ran a positive from the battery straight to it. All of my wiring conections were just fine. There was some issue that could not be seen. And then... 15 feet of 16 gauge wire, a relay, some solder, and minor adjustment to my rebuilt carb and she fired right up.
