Trevor, You can use the setup you describe and it should give good lighting. I used to use a similar setup, AF400FTZ Sigma EF430 and Z1p and it gave very good results. Give it a trial run before you start on money making pictures but it should work without any problems. I wouldn't bother with the popup flash, it will waste battery power.
