Where is the disposal draining to? Is it in a sink which is NOT vented now?
A disposer is not "officially" a pumped drain, but it acts that way to some extent, making a studor a bad choice.
How about a pic of what you have and what you want to do:?"

The vent is in the way of where the disposal has to be installed. Can the vent be moved or modified?

Unless it is a single bowl sink, the question is irrelevent and you are installing the disposer incorrectly. If it is a single sink, then the answer is yes.

HOW you do it would determine whether you can do it or not.

where the disposer is lower than the drain no vent can fix the failure!!!
