Has any installed this in their first gen? I need to do this because I have no way of mounting my clutch master cylinder on my firewall due to my vacuum booster on my firewall. With this pedal assembly I can mount my clutch master inside the car. Will my column be in the way of the pedals? Please help this is my last major problem I have to fix to drive my 68.

The only cars I have seen with the reverse mount master cylinders were in race cars. The position of the master cylinder would interfere with the dash/instrument cluster and would require a removable section in order to fill it. Plus I don't think they would work around the stock steering column. I have seen clutch master cylinders placed where the stock clutch pushrod came through. It does require a remote reservoir for it but it would probably be easier than trying to change the pedal assembly out. Here is an example:
