DC modification idea

Trying to save space for my DC, I had the thought of wall mounting it with a certain jury-rig. It's a Grizzly 2 HP (don't see a model number on it, but year of mfg is 2002) on a cart, single stage. It's 220V.

I thought about mounting it in the corner on the wall with a Oneida Dust Deputy then into a trash can (already have it as it's on my cart) or just see if my already existing Thein style separator works well with it. I'd route the super fine dust out of one of those round eave holes. So it's a 2" circle and I'd have to size down the tubing of course, and I would negate the need to re-purchase my Wynn Filter (it was stolen) AND pose absolutely no risk for inside air contamination.

the Wynn was 170 or so anyways before shipping and the Oneida is 170 as well. Seems like a sweet upgrade unless I'm missing something. If it sounds like a good idea I'll experiment with my current Thein first to see of it's good enough.

I'm wondering how it should be mounted. Does it matter in terms of having the curve of the impeller a certain way? So here's an example of what I have.

The inlet would be going down to my separator (Or dust deputy), but does that have to be a straight downward pipe-to-pipe orientation? Or could I mount the unit on the wall with the outlet going straight to the eaves and the Inlet needing a 90 elbow?

If you join the Lumberjocks website you will get a lot of great advice on setting up a dust collection system using the Dust Deputy and Wynn filter.
