Has anyone tried to get a Huret Jubilee short arm rear derailleur to work properly with a Regina Extra America freewheel and a Regina SL America hollow chain?

Past CR discussions have claimed that the flexibility of the Regina hollow chain did not make it a good choice for Campy SR or NR derailleur or with most vintage freewheels. I wonder if using the Regina Extra America freewheel and Huret derailleur (I believe these were made into the 1990s) are fully compatible.

Any comments or discussions are welcome since I am considering these for my Teledyne Titan "weight weenie" project bike <grin>
