HELP!!! GTO Slave cylinder to -4AN? HELP!
I just installed a new GM GTO slave cylinder along with a Monster Level 2 clutch. LQ9 engine and GTO T56 are still out of the car, this is a new build. I want to mate the two and drop them in tomorrow, but just realized that the line going from my McLeod adjustable MC is a -4AN line, and it looks like the slave cylinder is a quick disconnect fitting?
Here's a pic of my slave:
Do you think this fitting would work? Russell clutch adapter fitting 641001(http://www.summitracing.com/parts/RUS-641001/):
If so, I can pick up the fitting next week and all is good. If not, I'm worried that I'll need an adapter that connects directly to to the slave and I'd have to drop the tranny to access it. ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED!!!!

Well, I came up with a couple of options.
I ordered a Russell clutch adapter fitting #641001, which attaches directly to the slave cylinder and has a -4AN male end to it. I also purchased a 6" -4AN hose and a -4AN to -4AN union, so I could make the connection outside the bellhousing.
And I called McLeod Racing and they said their part # 139160 wire clip fitting to AN-4 male should connect directly to the quick disconnect fitting outside the bellhousing on the end of the GTO slave elbow. So I ordered that as well.
Both fittings arrived for my slave cylinder. I ended up going with the Russell fitting direct to the slave and then -4AN hose to a -4AN union. The main reason was because I the GTO elbow was used and I didn't even know if it leaked or not. I haven't test fit it, but I would like to say the guys as McLeod were very helpful, so it's a shame I didn't use their fitting. Also, I cheaped out and didn't pay for 2nd day air, so it arrived Friday evening, and I had already dropped the engine and trans into the bay by then.
