The mounting for the original master cylinder used three bolts. The Camaro dual master cylinder from 67 thru 69 were a two bolt mount. I can machine a three to two bolt mount. I think someone on this board must have done this before, is this what you did and how did it work?
You might also want to check the height on the Camaro dual MC. Below is a picture of the MOPAR dual MC installed in my '59 and there is not much vertical clearance when you close the hood.
