Cool, you're welcome. Whenever one does work on old cast iron there's a high probability of dislodging a bunch of shit when removing old threaded fittings, ect. My house's cast iron has literally a quarter inch of rust scale/slugde on the inside. Every time anything disturbs it, it seems to throw a clot so to speak.
If you can get the drainage rate to sustain some amount of water flow, I would highly recommend a caustic or acidic cleaner, not an enzymatic cleaner. There's nothing like good, old fashioned gnarly ass chemicals. IF you can make sure it drains before the plumber has to deal with it. Otherwise you're totally right to use the enzymatic cleaner if you think it might still be sitting there when the plumber might have to deal with it.
I had a pretty darn similar situation with my upstairs sink, and what we did there was slightly risky but very effective. I had a garden hose that could reach the bathroom and so what we did was we capped off the vent stack on the roof with duct tape, and shoved the garden hose in the drain fitting in the wall. I was holding this in with a gloved hand and hand pressure, so the actual applied pressure was only as hard as I could push (maybe 20psi?) but we just pushed that clog right through. Most satisfying sound I've ever heard when it went (ca-THUUUNK).
There's actually a much nicer looking tool for doing this type of pressure assisted unclogging. It's called a clog buster. I haven't used one but what you'd do is shove it down past the vent T (so that you didn't have to tape up the vent pipe like I did) and then when you turn on the water it inflates and seals itself against the pipe, so you can successfully apply the hose pressure to the clog downstream.
Now, I will totally not take resposibility if this friggin floods your house. If you have plain threaded cast iron pipes all the way through, I don't think the risk is super high. But if there are leaded joints, they could in theory push apart with pressure. That would not be fun. So use with caution.
Same thing happened to me with the cross member breaking. Not sure mine was as stuck as your but this worked well for me. Maybe use it with a breaker bar?
Are you able to use a saw and cut the top section off since you're replacing it anyway? You'll need to find a way to get to the actual drain and then you'd use either needle nose pliers to twist the cross piece or when that inevitably breaks you'll get something like this for your toolbox https://www.amazon.com/Superior-05255-Extractor-Removes-Stubborn-Drains/dp/B00C0M7DVA

Hammer it in and crank that drain out
I get a lot of my odd tools on Amazon, so I found the Superior Tool 05255
It hasn't let me down yet
Yeah I’m just having a hard time finding one. Home Depot doesn’t carry in store, amazon isn’t showing me any yet. As soon as I type no overflow, the results only show pop up ones that work with faucets without a pull stopper. Like this:

Like u/OpticalPrime said, "Push Pop up Sink Drain ". Think commercial use where you don't want Joe Public to pop out and steal the stoppers all the time, so there's the screw-in aspect to keep things secure. But after it is screwed in, you can still pop the top up & down for draining.

Use one of these.
They're stupid expensive for one-time use, but it's the only way I got out of the same situation.
a sink strainer? really? I guess that would work....
the current drain just unscrews... they can be annoying and hard to get out but most are not too bad... then install a lift-and-turn type in its place.

Do they have smaller tools? I recently put a new stopper in my tub, I had to buy this stupidly specialized thing called a drain extractor, which I'm sure I'll never use again... but it was the only way I could get the damn thing out.
The Waste & Overflow is 1-3/8. It's a fairly common size for decorative Waste & Overflows for clawfoot tubs.
I disagree with the earlier posters. Soap (and soap scum) buildup is a real thing. Hair makes it worse, but still. I occasionally have to use a plunger to clear the pipes. When they get really bad a Clog Buster does the trick.
$300 fuck that.
I had the same problem. Cross rotted/broke out.
You need one of these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00C0M7DVA/ I've also seen these at Lowes, if you're not the order off the internet tape.
Tap it in with a hammer, push down, and crank it out with a 1/2" ratchet, and an extension. If you have ZERO tools, you can do this job for probably less than $35 with a Harbor Freight ratchet and extension.

Vanity On this, I negotiated with the seller since I didn't like the sinks/counter/mirrors that were included. They sold me the vanity only for a lesser price than advertised. I purchased the granite for the vanity/tub/privacy wall separately.
Shower Tiles are 12x24 and were purchased at Lowes, shower mosaic tile at HD
*Flooring tiles 6x24 were purchased at HD. Grout is "bone" color and also at Home Depot.
They do make what is called "clog-buster". ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001AJ5RNA?pc_redir=1410002965&robot_redir=1 )
However most plumbers I know would never use anything like this. Use a snake and be sure you can get it. If there's something actually blocking the pipe, the pressure could cause multiple problems, if it's not fully clogged the pressure goes past the clog usually.
