Wilwood brakes vs power

I'm working through the mock up stage on my 56, and need some opinions. My truck has flat out engineering C4 corvette front and rear suspension, stock C4 brakes, 5.3 and 5 speed AR5 transmission out of a chevy colorado. The transmission is a hydraulic internal slave so I was planning on running a wilwood clutch pedal and firewall master cylinder with a firewall brake booster. The more I'm looking at it, I'm wondering if I get a matching wilwood clutch and brake box to have both pedals match and position the pedals the same. This would be a cleaner firewall but manual brakes with either a tandem M/C with proportioning valve or dual M/C with bias bar on the brake side. Wondering if anyone has experience running manual wilwood brakes in these trucks or with a C4 vette? This truck will be street driven, not a track truck. Opinions?

Below is not my truck, I wish, but an example of the wilwood set up
