I see that you posted this on the Terry Love forum and received some good info.
I don't know why there was so much negitivity here. If people don't have any help to offer then why take the time to post a reply.
I looked at some of the Insinkerators and the distance to the outlet looks to be 6". I don't know the model of your Waste King but it looks like you'll gain 1" to 1-1/2" with an Insinkerator.
If you have to cut the 1-1/2" pipe at the wall to shorten it you can connect the two together with a coupling.

First Never use a 90* fitting in drains vents are ok but still frowned on...keep it the way your doing it. If you can have fewer pipes the better. Buy a longer waste arm or extend the drain out closer.

Odd comment. Are you talking about a vent 90° or any 90° fitting?

Can I just add an extension piece on the 45 and then attach the horizontal piece/P-trap part to it to extend to reach the drain instead of cutting off the 45 at the main drain? I don't really want to mess with the main drain if I don't have to.

If I put the disposal on the right I don't think the P-trap will reach the left drain and be directly under the drain even when I swing it clockwise? I guess I can try it that way to see if it will indeed reach or not.

You can add an extension if it's easier. I just don't like a lot of connections and that's adding more.
First you can try to see if you can get the trap to line up under the left sink. If not than do the extension.

Ya it did not work so I have to go with the extension. Another question I had is does the tube that goes from disposable inlet to the T have to be at a slight down incline and not perfectly horizontal?

So I finally got around to trying to put on the extension and based on the angle it is coming from the wall it still will not reach and align under my drain on the right side? Even cutting it down I don't will help here. What should I do next since this way it does not seem to work? Can I put another 45 degree on the exsisting 45 degree? Any suggestions will be appreciated. I am attaching pics of how it looks now with the extension.

Start from the strainer and then work your way to the wall. Come down connect your trap and then work out the piping to the wall connection. Piping from the wall to the trap to the sink Is more of a hassle
