I have the same set up on my Super Sport. I found the shifting to be a bit stiff, especially after about 20 years of not too much maintenance. I replaced the shift cables, and added a couple of pieces of PTFE tubing (available from LBS) inside the guides (see pics); the shifting is now super smooth.
