You are not supposed to dump a first floors toilet and shower water into another bathrooms vent line because you can get upstairs poop entering the first floor fixtures. In some instances it may be possible to do something that doesn't meet any plumbing code (bootleg) but you won't know if it will work until you get things hooked up. Most of the time it may work. This would be something you would have to disclose when you sell the house if you left the upstairs bathroom connected.

"Bootleg" means it would not be to code, but they would not get a permit or inspection.
