How to put Shatner/Original Kirk in while keeping Jj Abram's story intact: At the end when old Spock returns to hiw own time( if that is what happens) have him caught of guard with history being intact but James t. Kirk is alive despite the events at Veridian 3.
Young Spock and Captain Pike left an encrypted note to Starfleet not to be accessed until the 24th Century. A Security-Medical team was there to save Kirk. Picard's memory was altered by having him injected to forget what happended fully. Section 31 would have arranged it and Kirk would be put into hiding until needed again. Can all be explained off screen and be believeable.
