Plenty of disc brake cars were available with manual brakes. Manual disc master cylinder has smaller bore to increase mechanical advantage.

You can, but...

It will be extremely important to select a front brake system which provides the right amount of braking on the front. With only one diameter bore in the master cylinder it's tough to figure out how much front braking is will be applied compared to the rear.
