Will GM 200r4 work with factory floor shift location?

Treblig I commend you on your effort to make it work but have a question. Would it be possible to eliminate the stock linkage from the A-body shifter and connect a cable to run to the 200R4? I replaced the stock a-body shifter in my Cuda several yrs. ago with a Quicksilver (mounted under the a-body console) so I don't remember exactly what the stock shifter was like but if it's possible to attach a cable to it it might be easier than what it's taking to make the linkage work. Just a thought
