The T fitting arrived and I have rigged this up like so.

Here will get you closer

One major question is, Can I choke this sucker to 1/2 right here?? I am unsure if I should bring it over with some 1" and then reduce it to the 1/2 worm, or can I attach worm here?

Also, would it be better to turn it back in and have it condense in the middle of the rig? Or should I cut that 36" arm down and keep it going in order?

That sums it up for now, any input from mentors would be very much appreciated.
