I usually dig some of the dirt away below so the pipe flexes some then I can get the 90 deg on by flexing the pipe back some. Have to dig down with a hand trowel sometimes I use a hose with a jet sprayer help loosen up the dirt some it gets kind of muddy but does quick work. I don't really like unions they are okay but can leak. Only PVC glue is 100% full proof leaking. I also don't use that white PVC thread sealer like everyone else does I use yellow PVC tape it is thick and seals up threaded pipe really good.

It's always difficult to plumb the suction side with the pressure side intact. I cut out the pressure pipe first, that gives you a lot of wiggle room to get the suction side lined up just right.
Also, I would not recommend cutting out the stops on the 3-way valve. Just remove the lid and re-orient it.
Those red handled valves are a pain, the ones you showed are typical for how they look after a few years. Good move going to a Jandy.

I need to do this, but these shut-off valves stop the water flow from my pool... eg: when i remove them there is no stopping the water. Not sure how to handle that situation...

Stick a rag in the pipe. Just did my own and it works a charm
