Don't see why not! I think a ranger/np435 would be a great combo.
If you have a T-19, yes, it'll work...at least one person's done it already and was quite happy with the results 
Unfortunately, it only works with the T-19 (unless someone swapped in something like an NP435 or an NV4500), since the other transmissions that were available from the factory with these engines have integrated bellhousings.
I still contend that, if Ranger would make a variant that could go between the transmission and the transfer case on a 4x4, they'd get quite a few more sales :-D

Here's a install article.

I seem to remember this guy complaing a little bit about the noise level from the unit. I can't seem to find that comment in the article, but if he was complaining about gear noise with a gas engine, it's certainly not going to be quieter with a diesel engine in front of it.
