Depends if it is a native left or modified right hand drive.
From memory the right hand drives 7xx/9xx cars have the engines in line and canted over to the right (when standing infront of the car) , being rear wheel drive and the turbos sit mid engine while the brake servo and cylinder sit over the the chasis rail/inner wing join. Even with a t5 conversion the turbo isnt that close.
The clutch hydraulic flexi pipe on the other hand is in a poor position and should be changed on a regular basis or re routed with a longer braided steel hose.

A mate lost most of his 740 turbo wagon when the brake fluid tank melted/ burst dumping a pretty decent amount of flammable liquid onto the turbo housing. The size and stock location of the heat shields on those 9xx/7xx turbo cars were not the best.
