Hydraulic clutch pedal question

I am planning on putting a hydraulic clutch in my 71 Barracuda. I called Centerforce about it, asking about how much travel the throwout bearing needs, they said 1/2 inch. I lean towards keeping the master cylinder rod near the stock location not to affect the pedal ratio too much and moving the attachment point on the clutch fork to where you would get that amount of travel. Of course, you need to take into account the bore size of the master and slave cylinder. If they are the same, the travel will be the same on either side.
