Use long horizontal dropouts.
It's what they were designed for: the hanger was a later adaptation while we waited for someone to invent vertical dropouts.

It is by no means impossible to do it, just bear in mind it's another thing to go wrong. Awful for biting off more than I can chew, so if it was me I'd just do it!
