Yes, that combination of elbows is to clear the fan housing.  Take a 
close look a the picture because some of the elbows have been 
clearanced by rounding off the large squared-up corners of the elbow.  
This is necessary to get everything to fit without touching the fan 
housing.

If you buy the Type 3 full flow kit from Gene Berg you get all these 
fitting re-clearanced.  I bought the kit, but after seeing it, I am 
sure it would be cheaper to go to Home Depot and get the fittings and 
clearance them yourself.
