would the socks attache directly to the drain pipes?
Or would they mount on the sump as I have seen pics of and have the drain lines drop into them.. ?? Probably either way is ok I would guess.
And if no LR in the one section than everything is in the bigger side of the sump... LR, Pump, and skimmer? correct
Thanks again,

I would attach them to the sump so that there is less stress on the pipes and less risk of them detaching from the tank.
And yes, you can put everything into the large side of the sump.
I'm not sure if you have enough room in the sump to put in baffles, but you could add baffles on either end to put the skimmer in the same compartment as where the water comes in, and the return pump on the end by itself. You could add the live rock and chaeto then in the middle compartment and put a small light over the middle.
Here is an example of what I am talking about
