Default 3rd gen firebird with lt1 t56. Need help

I have an LT1 T56 that I'm swapping into an 84 Trans Am that was already a 5 speed car, so I have 3rd gen pedals in the car. I have a 2pc main sbc, so I am using the swap flywheel with a competition clutch. I bought the 4th gen master/slave set.

My question is, I've heard that the factory 4th gen hydraulic setup on third gen pedals creates issues with the clutch fork hitting the pressure plate. What are my best options using what I have, and what else do I need to do hydraulic wise to get this all to work properly using the 3rd gen pedals and 4th gen hydraulics? The flywheel and clutch are both ordered and on their way, so I have a few days before I can really get working on the car. Thanks in advance for any info.
