centrifugal pump suction

The inlet size of the pump is 1" and the suction line is 2" dia. Due to the space constrain can a long radius elbow be installed directly with the pump mating flange. If so should the eccentric reducer (2x1) should be before the elbow or in between the elbow and mating flange.
