I think it will work OK but the concern would be if the upper link were too short compared to the lower link, there might be some binding near the limit of suspension travel due to the links moving out of parallel as they move. If the links were not parallel to start with at normal ride height, then binding is more likely. If the links converge (in side view) towards the front of the car, there will be more anti-squat and more traction, but the binding issue begins to turn the axle housing into a big anti-roll bar.
Since he allready has the four links (if you count the leaf spring) on the car, all he needs to do is add a "real" lower link, coilovers and a panhard bar, and no leafs to save a lot of unsprung weight. I think the car would ride better.
