Broke driveshaft and now it won't start :(
Okay.. broke a driveshaft and towed it home, and it started a few days later but it was hard to start (87 NA that dislikes cold). When I put exhaust back on after getting the new DS on there, I got rid of the cats. Naturally this means I cut the split air pipe line or whatever it's called (backpressure line that activates 5/6th and goes to the intake manifold). I've done that before and it didn't affect the car's starting.. but for some reason it won't start.. it won't even roll start. What's up?

The 6-ports shouldnt matter at all for starting, it is probably just flooded from when you started it the first time, try doing the unflooding precedure (pull egi/ign fuse and crank the car for ~20 seconds, then replace and start car.)
P.S. How did you break the drive shaft on an NA?

Ignoring vibrations is the usual way as you're first starting in gear and the car trembles and goes away as you've eased into speed/gear.
Almost always they break at the u joint at the tranmission side.
