I have successfully used a pull cylinder from Speedway Motors, and a Fiero clutch master cylinder.

Bill, The answer is yes. My GT3 car, was Jon B's, has it set up the way you 
have mounted. The clutch fork (I can't remember a mod to it) is stock but 
the throwout bearing is special for the Tilton clutch pack/pressure plate. I 
see no issue with doing it your way.
