My set up is all 2"" pipe and looks like your drawing except for the vent pipe going up to the roof. Is this ok and does it save me the trouble of installing a vent to the unused furnace flue?
...

I failed to explain that:
1) the entrance to the unused furnace flue (wich is well capped in the roof, thanks) is about 5 feet laterally and 6 feet high. Is this too much distance from the trap?
