Well they're generally not too aggressive, and the water chemistry isn't too far out for the firemouth though you may find the compromise needed with the acara means neither looks perfect.
What will be a problem is that the activity level of the yellow (very high, like all mbuna) will probably p**s off the acara and firemouth no end, and they will struggle to compete at feeding time.
Also there will be display differences - I find display in south/central americans is a bit more final than the constant niggling of africans - what this means is you have a fairchance of cominghome to find a dead or mauled african who disregarderd a s. americans warning.
I'm surprised you don't have similar problems with your peacocks - I don't think it works very well at all. I admit I've tried it, and the constant movement really stressed the central americans.
