I'd ditch them.

There's an outside possibility that this might mean the caliper ends up too low (in which case you'll need to keep them) but I'm pretty sure it won't.

I'm pretty sure I've used Hayes & Avid brakes on the same mount before and just used them "as intended" (i.e. washer stack with the Avids, nothing with the Hayes).

I found it too low when i had to warranty my avids and it scraped the inside of the caliper. Cant remember if I used the hayes mount as well though but I ended up with the hayes rotor back on..

Worth a try.
