I'm 6'4'' and a bit less in weight but not to much, for now at least.
With a small wheel as knees tend to be the problem you should be fine.
I found out on my last build, when i bought the moulded fibre glass seat I could fit in them just and they where snug but they were only ok if my legs were together and straight but found I couldn't position my legs apart to fit either side of the wheel like us lanky buggers have to so in the end they where no good even if I can actually get my butt in them.
This build I 'm looking for seats that dont have "sides" around my butt. Lotus elise ones look perfect but are aparantly not a comfy seat,
Some padded ones look good in this respect but dont' get you as far back in the car as pure FG ones.
In short you should be fine just be careful what seats you get. In my friends caterham racer we don't have a seat just moulded expanding foam, not sure it would be IVA compliant though.
