P Trap Install

I replaced a goofy pedestal sink with a vanity, and the p trap was a conglomeration of ABS elbows and an ABS P Trap.

There is a 1-1/2” elbow coming out of the wall pointing mostly straight up, it’s glued into the drain pipe and the connection point is in the wall (to cut it I’ll need to cut open the wall).

That elbow has another elbow on it pointing horizontal, then that elbow has an ABS p trap which doesn’t reach my new sink drain pipe (tailpiece?).

These are all glued, the only place I can screw something on is the 2” MIP threads where the “p” part of the trap screws on.

I can’t fit a flex pipe or anything in there. Can I use: 2” clean out adapter, to a 2” - 1-1/2” adapter, to a 1-1/2” p trap adapter, and connect a flexible p trap to that? It will go down a good 6” with all those adapters and give me room to connect to my sink drain pipe.

Is that too many ups and downs? If so, where do I cut? Do I need to cut the fitting in the wall and ream it and glue in a straight pipe? Or do I cut a big hole in the wall and cut the drain pipe and put in a new elbow in the wall?

Ignore the white flex pipe I was measuring with it.

I hate plumbing.
