As a beginner, will this modification of StrongLifts suit my goals?

I'm a pretty skinny 20 year old guy (around 150lb, 6ft 2 in) looking to gain a baseline amount of strength and body mass within a few months. My schedule is very tight right now and doesn't have room for me to travel to a gym, but I have a barbell set and bench at home.

Stronglifts appeals to me as a beginner for the simplicity. The problem is that I do not have a rack to squat or OHP in at this time.

Can I power-clean into these lifts for the next few months? Will the gains I see still be worth it for a complete beginner or will I be wasting my time? Basically, does this program make sense? If not, are there any alternatives I can look into for starting training in my minimal home gym?
