If I want to remove the pipe going left and end up with an elbow to the right, is it better to cut and block or fit a whole new right angle pipe? I think the pipes are glued in.

Cutting and capping the existing left branch of the T will probably cause future problems as the flow direction from above is directed towards the capped side.

Chopping out the T and fitting a 90deg elbow will be awkward as the pipes will be too short, although a long radiused elbow may work

A pair of 45deg elbows would save messing around with inline couplers to regain an inch

Thanks so much, this makes total sense to a beginner like me. Much appreciated. If I don't have enough length with the pipe on the right for 2 x 45°s is there a way to remove the t piece and fit a 90° elbow?
