You may find the rear a bit stiff to shift. Fronts operate just fine. I'd suggest digging up a Campy Grand Sport for the rear if you want to keep that vintage - they function much nicer. Good luck on the original SunTour.
And for all the notoriety of the 'death fork' I've heard stories of times when a fork failed while screaming down the road. And the stories I have heard have always been of the friend of a friend of a friend variety. No first person, or direct witness at the moment accounts.
