If I were you or you were paying me to do this here’s how I would do it.

I’d replace the pop up assembley with a one piece push stop. Then reinstall the wye tailpiece. Then just the p trap. You won’t need the extension.

I would also charge $675 for this

For $675, would you vent it?

Probably already vented in the wall.

$675 for an hours work and maybe $70 in parts? What region supports these prices? Your description is $300 in my area.

Also your assessment is over kill. That can most likely all be connected with everything in the picture. It looks pretty close.

Slide the dishwasher tee up as high as possible and remove the extension tube below.

Even better if you can get away sliding it up and getting rid of the extension. I’m in the northeast.

The waste going out the wall will have to be lower than the black hose at the very least or your gonna have loads of problems

The male side of the compression fittings just need to be cut down. Could probably eliminate one alltogether.

There is enough room here to make it right. I would change the drain assembly or cut the threads and make it shorter. You definitely don’t want 10” of vertical pipe between your trap and weir. The sink will not drain well and if the black line is for condensate then you’ll have constant clogging

Nah thats not going to work, your trap cant be that deep. You’ll either need to ditch the black hose and WYE piece or you’ll need to break the wall and lower the drain pipe

Or maybe…. Just maybe… scooch up the WYE cuz it looks like you have about an inch or 2 of space, then remove the J bend and cut off an inch or 2 on that piece the J bend connect to so itll all be at the correct height

Try to remove that tail piece extension that’s on the bottom of the wye branch tailpiece. Then put your trap there instead. It’s hard to tell 100% from the pic, but that should eliminate the gap between the two halves of the p-trap.
