Floor arrangement would take some experimentation and worst case the suspended pedal could be eliminated and the underfloor pedal used alone. Fit of the booster is the main hindrance.

On your thought about getting a manual pedal and using a manual dual master, one issue you will run into is there are no modern dual masters that anyone has found that mounts to the frame using thru bolts the same way as the single master Packard used. All modern masters seem to have end mounts and to use that in the Packard location will require some kind of mounting bracket which will throw off the center to center alignment between the pedal and master. You will need to figure out how to address that issue and I think space to move the pedal will again be a limiting factor. It might be possible to use some sort of bellcrank and mount the master at an angle but don't remember what else might be in the way if trying that.
