Dave, I think that it will work just fine. I have had mine out several times and find that the sheet runs much better now that one block is removed and no more binding on the vang block.
The Catalina manual drawing 4.1.10 has the sheet routed to the gooseneck. The original configuration can be seen at http://www.sailtravis.us/ Also note the large cleat between the boom and mast step, it would also bind against the sheet.
