Yes. Be sure you're breaker bar is riding above the suspension "A" arm (what would be the lower arm on a wishbone setup) but below the steering link. You're breaker bar should sit just between the two. The suspension arm is what is going to counter the torque applied by the starter. Be sure to just blip the starter to make sure your car doesn't actually start. In the old days I bet folks just pulled the plug wires off the distributor or off of the plugs to keep from starting so I'm sure you could pull a fuse or somehow disable the ignition if you feel safer that way.
