Re:

Actually, you may have problems threading a shimano's SPD or other Japanese pedals into vintage Campy cranks and maybe other Italian cranks as the threads are slightly different. The will go in but may take more force than you may be comfortable with.

As long as no-one attempts to smash your back doors in, you should be fine.

In my humble opinion make sure the centre line (to the thread start) of your old pedals is the same as the SPD clip ons, some of the older style pedals were wider, then depending on your SPD shoe you could be rubbing the crank arm.

Just think of it as sticking an old bicycle onto new pedals.

I like your way of thinking!

Just buy some vintage look pedals with delta style cleats, win win all-round
