It should, but you probably won't get colour, unless...

My understanding is that they don't strictly need it, but you'll probably
get nasty interference and crawling effects if they don't.
It should be easy to test. Lift the 8MHz input pin on VIC, and feed it
your own ~8MHz signal. Let the existing oscillator generate the colour
clock.
If Christopher would let me at his C64 with a soldering iron, I'd give it a
go myself :-)
