So I'd like to use the power brake booster that's "correct" for my 69 Elky because it has the right angle and mounting points to bolt up.

I'd also like to use a 2000 Trans Am master, since it's appropriately sized for my calipers.

I am pretty sure the rod-length is not correct but otherwise, are there reasons that this is not a good thing to do?

I am not an expert on power brakes, but as long as the MC bolts to the booster and the rod length between the two is set properly, I don't know why there would be a problem. The booster doesn't really know what it is pushing, other than a rod.

The only thing I can think of to check first is the diameter of the master cylinder where it goes into the booster. The later model ones tend to be a big larger and may not fit into the booster. If not, the 1981 Camaro/Firebird booster has a larger opening, maybe it is close enough in appearance to work.
