petal assembly
is it possible to use a clutch petal assembly that is cable driven in a hydraulic assembly?
Or, does it have to be completely hydraulic?

Re: petal assembly
I cannot attest to the non-hydraulic thirdgen pedal set ups, although from what i understood there was something called a "zbar" and there was no cable, but hydraulic clutch pedals push a rod, whereas cable pull a cable. Not saying its not possible but you would need to modify it.
What exactly are you trying to achieve?

i dont believe it has the mounting holes for the clutch master cylinder but i just got a whole assembly from a 4th gen camaro and it fit fine

Re: petal assembly
What year is your bird, what year is the junked camaro? The majority of thirdgens, i think 84 and up (someone correct me if i am wrong), all used hydraulic clutch release systems and they are all interchangeable.
I am fairly certain you have to use the 4th gen hydraulics if you use the 4th gen pedals.

Re: petal assembly
You are going to most likely need to get a hydraulic pedal set up if you plan on running hydraulic release on your clutch..
