I have one bike with Campagnolo Chorus dual pivot brakes from 1997. The QR is in the lever not the brake and I can squeeze a Panaracer 28mm tire through without deflating. That's with the brakes adjusted very close to the 17mm, well-trued rim. I think the brakes with QR mounted on the brakes probably allow a little more room. So, tire clearance is something to consider, but it might be ok.

Haven't messed with old side-pulls for quite some time and just recently worked on a mid 80s Bianchi that we haven't had on the road for about 10-12 years. Dual pivot brakes are, in my opinion, so much better than those old Campagnolo side-pulls that a little inconvenience when removing/installing a wheel is well worth it. But. life is a series of tradeoffs.
