I would look into your city and state codes, but in my experience when i installed a gas fireplace in my property instead of lining it with a new flue i simply installed a new b vent chimney inside the old brick one, and my water heater also was vented though the old brick as well with a 3" b vent, if you would like to bypass the old chimney all together and cap it (bug prevention) look into new 95% effecent furnaces, they are vented in PVC and can be vented out through side walls, they also make power vent water heaters if you did not want to convert to electric.

So we followed orders, I unintentionally ended up leaving my JansPort backpack inside of my friends vehicle in the passengers side which i always hold my wallet and other necessities that i refuse to fill up my pockets with to prevent overloaded pockets, so while we are standing in front of the cop car, the officer walked over to where I was (passengers side) of the vehicle searched and raised his hand in the air and said "Look what I found in the black Jan-Sport, a piece of marijuana" and I automatically rejected to the fact and said "thats impossible officer I have not had possession nor smoked marijuana in months if not longer and theres just no possible way you could of found that in there.
