How do you convert a hydraulic clutch into a cable clutch in a Ford Probe?

I own a 94 ford probe base model, and it seems that either the clutch master cylinder or slave cylinder are malfunctioning, cause I've lost pressure and the pedal sticks to the floor..or just travels on it's own with a light push. Now, I own a Mustang Gt with a cable system that I had to replace as the cable was wearing out, putting in an adjustable cable and new quadrant, completely eliminating the pawl. So far i prefer that over the hydraulics for it's simplicity. So i want to do a conversion. But i can't find ANYTHING that gives me an idea on how to do it. I see that i may need to replace the pedal so the cable can be fed through the firewall and attach on the pedal fork, and I do need to actually see what the clutch fork at the transmission looks like before I go into this further, which won't be hard. Does anyone have any idea what type of donor car would be good for this, or know what parts I can use? Can I replace the Probe hydraulic pedal with a Mustang pedal to start out? Any ideas would be helpful..heck even people who've owned Hondas can give this a shot. I do know that the Probe's sister cars are the Mazda 626 and MX-6 but I can't find anything on those cars either.
