All liability and resale considerations aside, a word of caution: most of the hydraulic clutch systems I have seen use brake fluid. I would not want to mix fluids or mess with the steering. If you are determined to use the existing vehicle then I would seriously consider a 12 volt linear actuator. I would think that you could mount a bracket on the bottom of the dash and put some type of a slotted bracket or clevis over the clutch pedal arm for the actuator to push against.
A quick Amazon search turned up an actuator that will push about 225 lb with a 6 inch stroke that travels approximately half an inch a second and draws about 3 amps at 12 volts. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07RXQGJLT/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_F0681GVNHXA8RCQ22VA1
I think a spring loaded center off type switch (DPDT momentary) plugged into the cigarette lighter and fastened to the end of the shifter would be easy enough to use with your shifting hand. You would bump the switch or hold it down to move the pedal up or down and release the switch to stop moving the pedal in a given position. The actuator has internal limit switches to stop when it reaches the end of its stroke so I would try to set the travel geometry up so that the actuator travel has authority over the full clutch pedal travel without trying to push the pedal through the floor or pull it back past its engaged stop.
