So, I'm working at trying to clean up the drain under my kitchen sink to free up some more space and hopefully avoid problems in the future. As you can see from the picture it's quite a crowded mess under there. Right now I am planning on rotating the garbage disposal and swapping the 90 degree bend on the disposal to have a straight shot from the disposl over to the arm coming down off the left sink. One thing I am curious about, and you can't really see in the picture is that whjen I was cleaning out in the wall behind the sink I discovered an old vent pipe (house is old enough that all vent pipes are lead, have found a few other ones during other remodeling) that was cut off at some point so it's not hooked to anything making me think that I don't have a proper vent for this drain. What I was wondering is if I should try and run a tee off the waste arm between the disposal and the sink so that I can re-attach the vent? Another thing that I was thinking is that while I'm at it I will probably have to install a standard p-trap while I'm at it. Not really sure what my best course is at this point thought I'd get some advice before proceeding.
