Newbie joining the C&V ranks!

Just wanted to say "Hi" to everyone in Classic and Vintage. I just picked up a Austro-Daimler Vent Noir. It was originally paid for in 1981. I got it from a good bud who -- lucky for me -- was looking to thin the ranks. It has 1st generation Dura Ace components with a SunTour freewheel on the rear.

Quick question: I have the original short cage rear derailer and a dura-ace long cage (GS) rear derailer for the bike. Will the derailer work with a 14-34 SunTour touring freewheel? Arlington is pretty hilly.

Thanks.
