Very interesting. I'm thinking you are so far from stock that you should just find whatever works. To be considered....How much throw does this set up need? Since you fabed a mount for the hyd set there is no reason you can't do it again. I would probably use a cable at this point. Personally I would make a bracket that used the 2 bolts on the stiffener where it attaches under engine. That would get you pulling. For the cable pedal you would need to really change things in order to get the leverage advantage you need. You can hack up the one you have or take something from any car. No point in staying V at this point, whatever works and fits. once you know the throw of the cable and the fittings you need,, any decent parts shop can have one made for you.
Finally how powerful is the engine? Do you really need the racing clutch? If you don't consider going stock. It would be the easiest/cheapest (if your labour cost is included) thing to do, lots of old bell housings around in scrap cars and the hyd set up with stock clutch is a long lasting well designed system. And this from someone who inherently dislikes the idea of a hyd clutch, even though I've never had a problem with one (have 2 high mileage vehicles with them), and even though I've change/adjusted/cursed more than my fair share of cable clutches. Also I don't know about racing clutches but I'm guessing they are more aggressive and have fewer/no dampening springs. This is harder on the power train and will take it's toll, maybe the stock clutch can help keep you M41 alive. ....
