if my memory serves Knickerbocker from the the MML once had a 63 or 64
Newport,,  big block floor shift manual car that he  drove daily with
1) 74-78 C-body spindles/rotors and 2) a SP box that he didn't run
the pump on.  I think you have to connect the "in" to the "out" fluid
send and returns,  so you'd still need the fitting.   like a manual
box, its tough moving it at low or no speed,  but once the car is
moving its not dangerous or impossible.
