Default Will a 5/8 bore Clutch Master work??

I am doing a swap and my truck currently already has a 5/8 bore master cylinder, and I know the Camaro uses a 3/4, has anyone use a 5/8 and does it push enough volume to disengage the clutch??

Just want to know before I invest the time to adapt it...I have the stock Camaro master cylinder but it the line is broken on the trans side @ the disconnect..
So I would like to just adapt to the Toyota master but not sure it will work since it is 1 size smaller bore..

Help...

Compare the piston travel of each.
Adjust your parts to compensate in fluid volume if possible.
Or use the right bore for your current travel.

1/8 can be a significant change when it comes to brakes.

So I take it nobody has tried the clutch with a 5/8 bore on the master to see if it has the volume to disengage the clutch?

I was hoping to use the 5/8 Toyota master but not sure if I should even try it, dont want to do it if it isnt going to work, would just be wasted time, I guess I was hoping someone had been to this point I am at now to give some advice..

Oh well I guess it didnt hurt to try and ask..
