Mechanical linkage on Vacuum carbs..

I'm just curious, would it be possible to set up your six pack set up that are original vacuum operated secondaries with the mechanical linkages instead ?
Can you just remove the vacuum pods and swap the stock linkages for the mechanical ones ? Would you need to do anything else in particular or would it be able to run just like that ?

I know that if anyone can answer these questions they are on this site.
Therefore a thank you is in order in advance.
