I was eventually able to get the old plumbing out, I tried heat, that didn't work and probably wasn't too healthy... The I used a reciprocating saw and cut off the trap, so I could use some drill bits and drill out the lead/oakum. Eventually I was able to wiggle it out.
That is a lot of years of built up hair in the drain, amazing that it worked at all!
There is a rubber gasket that goes into the iron pipe, then this goes in and we start the looping.
I thought about putting the trap coming right out of the iron drain, but the guy at Ace said it would be best to have it right under the drain and it worked well like that. Overall very happy with how it all turned out. It seems to be draining well, and hopefully will be for a long time!
