Put a disposal serving the right hand sink and its a done deal.

You can try to see if you have enough clearance to use a tailpiece with a built in dishwasher spigot.

Doesn't look like it. Maybe it that T was shorter, the tailpieces could be longer... but then the lowered cross-arm would get in the way of that shelving.
You're going to have to change something.
Orange, if he's got no room for a DW tailpiece, how's he gonna have room for a disposal?
(edited for "doh!" factor - sorry, Lurker.)

I would install a branch tailpiece or desposer on the left side .
More room and looks like that would fit better.
And you could get a longer discharge hose if needed.

Huh? I never said anything about a disposal
I still think he might have room for a brass tailpiece with a dishwasher spigot built in. But that would be very lucky if it did actually work out. This could be easily remedied if it were rebuilt without those slip joint fittings. However I must admit I only work with ABS; so it's easy for me to view pvc as evil.

Yup. Don't forget to remove the knockout.
Then you're set - just lower the T. I think I'd put the disposer on the left & use a longer hose, too. That horizontal, right after a disposal, would make me nervous r.e. clogs.

Doh! I'm an idiot. But I fixed it.

Good luck connecting the drain if the disposer is installed in the left sink basin.

Hmm, cryptic.
Why do you say that, HJ?

There doesn't appear to be enough height to add a disposal on the left and still get the drain from the right-hand sink connected with the proper slope.

I'm also not sure that there's enough room, even if you shorten/lower the T as much as possible...
But why did you say, "if the disposer is installed in the left sink basin"? The clearance is roughly the same for either basin...?

Is there a good diagram that anyone is aware of to give me an idea about how all this will work?
Would it help if I take some measurements? If so, what measurements should I give you?
So the disposer has to go on the right?
Thanks all! Hoping to get this installed soon.
