Do you need an air vent installed for the dishwasher and garbage disposal and if so can it be installed another way if needed?
Your kitchen sink should already be vented if there is a p-trap draining to the wall. if it is an s-trap it is not vented and not to present code requirements. The dishwasher drain goes into the side of the disposal and the disposal should drain to the trap. A separate vent is not required for the disposal or dishwasher as the trap for the sink is what requires a vent.

Is the pee trap above or below the vent?
I BELIEVE: In a horizontal run, the p-trap must be below the vent. Otherwise, the vent may fill with water, creating a blockage, which would then syphon the water from the p-trap causing odors and health concerns from sewer gas. On a horizontal run, the vent must come off the run (presumably with a "wye") where the vent run is above the center line of the drainage run, thus the p-trap is lower than the vent...
