HH56: When I looked at under the floor units like you mentioned and showed, I found that there is insufficient room for a 7in diameter booster, much less a more preferred 8in one. However, if one clearanced the floor under the seat and raised the unit up and used the extended lever rod as per one of the examples, then one might be able to get the bottom of the booster above the bottom of the frame rail.

For discussion sake, I just measured some clearances under the power seat since I happen to have one removed and available. On the driver side, the lowest crosshaft is about 3in above the floor. The distance between the two fore-aft struts is a little over 7in. It looks like there should be room there for a clearance hump on the floor. Of course, one would not be able to move the seat very much, as the two fore-aft struts are connected by a common plate.

It would probably take mocking one up on a parts car to go further. In any case, this is no simple bolt-in.
