Ken, I'm not claiming to be an expert on early Ford condensers/capacitors, but adding a length of wire for a remote location will definately add more resistance to the circuit which will likely affect performance. You might do better leaving a known good original style condenser in it's stock location, and add some type of heat shield that would deflect heat away from the condenser. Just a thought.
