Re:
Possibly!
I assume you're talking about a 7 speed Synchro or Synchro II downtube shifter.
They were notoriously finicky even when set up correctly. The 7 speed shifters had a range of different coloured inserts depending on which rear derailleur you were using. There are charts available, but they don't mention which insert to use for more modern derailleurs like yours. Basically, trial and error.
The cog spacing on the Uniglide 7 speed is the same as other 7 speed systems, and the same as Campagnolo 8 speed. Campagnolo 8 speed shifters with the Veloce derailleur would work for 7 speed.
Another thing to note is that Uniglide had its own type of chain. I've used SRAM chains with Uniglide freewheels for friction shifting and they are fine, but I'm not sure how you'd get on with an indexed system.

Thanks for the reply.
I'm not sure exactly which shifters I have,Synchro or Synchro 11 and what inserts.I'm abroad right now,so can't look I was just mulling the possible combination over in my mind and thought I'd ask the question.I'll try it out when I get back and will find out soon enough.Alternatively,I have Exage shifters and it may be that I'll have to buy a vintage Shimano rear derailleur to match if the Campy bits won't cooperate!
It's to get a 1989 Raleigh Elix running again which came with the non standard vintage Veloce rear derailleur,by the way.

you dont need special chains for Uniglide either.
Heres 8spd Campagnolo with Shimano 8spd shifters and Campagnolo rear mech, not what you want but better than
