No, the clutch and throttle cables are shortened from “stock”.  The throttle is easiest, just get a new linkage end made for shortening it and you’re good to go.

For the clutch, while there are shortening adapters out there, I have found it best to just get a new end swaged onto the shortened cable (easy for me as I have a sailboat rigger do it) or, even easier, just buy a shortened cable from Vintage.  

If I were doing your car, I would go with the hydraulic clutch (and the suspended pedals!) and use a captive-at-both-ends actuator cable (push-pull control cable) for the throttle - run it where-ever you need to, then you can still use the hanging accelerator pedal......easy peasy.

This one is overkill, but should give you the idea.  Click on the link and then click on “control cables”:
