That is an interesting approach..The booster should fit under the car in that orientation as it would fall to the rear of the angled section. Should be plenty of clearance if there is no clutch linkage to worry about. Using the system as it ships, going thru the floor It might be possible to change the pad mount on the arm from oval to a Packard rectangular pad and have it pass as stock manual brakes. Can't see the detail but I take it the reservoir has remote fill capabilities. It might be hard to remove a bail type cover.

Another possibility I would investigate if I were doing it would be to see if the geometry would allow the end of the arm to attach in some way to the Packard suspended power pedal. Might take some kind of trapped roller bearing in a slot to allow for some sliding motion but maybe possible. If that could be done, with the new arm hidden by a rubber bellows it might look completely stock on the inside. I wonder if they sell that booster setup separately.
