Yes, you can, but you have to make some provision for venting the gas tank. 
I have drilled a couple of 1/8" holes through the metal plate on the inside 
of the gas cap in th epast. Not visible from the outside and perfectly 
effective. I suppose you could also get a replacement cap from a 
pre-emissions Spridget or use the one from your Heavey Healey ;-)
Alternatively, you could vent the line that currently goes to the cannister 
in the boot, but then you could wind up with fumes in the boot and a lovely 
boot light switch that tends to spark... not the best of all possible 
configurations.
