first of all that is an insain sized pump for a skimmer that isn't a recirulating skimmer. do you have some more info on the skimmer? it might be possible to turn it into a recirc style then just have a nice 300 gal per hour feed it.
going of your overflow mostlikely won't help as you would probably need a 2" or bigger overflow to handle it.
as for elbows on the intake.. thats all fine as long as it is all sized properly.
