I'm fully aware of the tradeoffs, but it can be done. The C8 is an example of this with its larger tunnel to compensate. Of course, it's easier when there is no driveshaft in the tunnel to deal with.
I've also owned a car with a Targa that wasn't designed for it (1983 Camaro Z28 with an aftermarket targa top) so I've seen the "not quite designed right but man was it cool" side of it.
