Default Wilwood/ APT Hydramax Clutch Linkage Install

Vehicle: 69 Firebird (previously automatic)

I'm installing a 6-speed magnum t-56 into the car and am trying to route the clutch linkage. I have a painless fuse box (was on the car when I got it) that appears to be in the way and I'm also not sure that everything will fit with the hydraboost system that I already have installed. See pics below.

I'm guessing I'm going to have to remove the emergency brake pedal and move the fuse box even further to the left so I can get clearance for the clutch linkage. Does anyone have experience installing a similar setup? Will the bulky linkage fit alongside the exterior of the firewall, next to the hydraboost? There doesn't seem to be enough room for everything - just wanted to make sure before I started drilling holes.

Also, if it does fit, I'm pretty sure the reservoir won't fit. Will I need a remote mounted reservoir?


I'm guessing the offset goes to the left of the pedal like shown, right (mounting hole is obviously a few inches higher)?



Looks like there's not enough room between the hydraboost and the fender:
