Whew, that is a lot of plumbing there stew.  How about purchasing a small under counter vent like used on a tub sometimes?  I cost about $4.99 and would be about $25.00 cheaper than what is shown, and work the same and just as well.  The $25.00 cheaper is not including the labor if you had to hire someone to do it.

Yes, you will need to vent the sink.  Every fixture that has a trap has to, by code, be vented.Let me show you how a typical island vent installs,( see images.)  Mowerman suggested a AAV,( Automatic Air Vent) in place of the vent return line but the problem with that is some local codes forbid it and AAV's can fail where a island vent can not.  Just presenting you with all the oiptions.  Good luck,  Tom
