Eric, when you use the viewfinder on your converted camera, are the immages dark red as they are on a DSLR with a 720nm filter on the front of the lens?

They are sepia tinted 'normally' illuminated in the viewfinder.

Without a white balance correction (ie making a custom white balance from green foliage) the image is red...but not dark red.

I always shoot some grass in full sun and save the wb as default. The colour temperature varies a bit around the year, but as long as I don't do it in low autumn light or late in the day, the wb is usually good enough.
