wont start off key....HELP

i recently bought a iroc that has had all the heating and ac stuff took out of behind the dash and sombody cut all the wires they thaught they didnt need off.....the problem is the car wont start off the key. im assuming its the nutural safety switch but they cut the wires off that came to the shifter...so they wired a button up to the sylinoid to start it..is there any wires i can wire together, or maybe put a hot source to one coming out of the steering column to fix this problem? BTW everything worked b4 they started cutting stuff off....or so they say

Big yellow wire goes from the ignition switch to the neutral safety switch. Big purple wire goes from the neutral safety switch through the firewall bulkhead connector to the starter solenoid.
