Here is the clutch fork I have been using on the C6OA bell housing. Please comment if this is the correct style clutch fork for a ‘67 GT500 as I do not know.

The fork is the 68-up style. It appears your pivot is missing from the bell housing. Nothing to be concerned being you have the 68 up style. They are reproduced.

So have we concluded that the CF clutch WILL fit in the C6OA bellhousing and that the 68 fork is the better option?

Well, yes.  The change on the C60A Large Z is 66-7 use a wire type retainer for the fork. 68-up uses a spring steel flat clip. Another consideration is the use of the 1 1/6" 10 spline input Vs. the 1 3/8". They use different throwout bearings because the input shaft cone is larger on the  1 3/8 input shaft.

Here is the 68 fulcrum. You'll note it is slotted for the 68 up clip.
