New install into existing subnet

I'm planning to roll out a new installation of SBS (standard) into a 16 user
existing network this weekend.
The current system is using a network on a 192.168.0.x subnet (with (mainly)
static IPs). This includes a mail server serving POP mail & smtp to the
clients who are running OE.
We want to introduce SBS into this, but with minimum disruption. It's our
plan to leave the users on OE collecting mail from the existing server until
all the desktops and laptops (some of which will not be on-site for a few
days) have been set up with server '03. Then, at some point next week, we
will switch them all over to exchange & outlook.
We are planning to leave the existing 192.168.0.x subnet in place, but add
the SBS server into this network. The server is currently set up to have one
network card (the external one) use this subnet (because it would need to
talk to the router currently doing NAT to the outside world). The internal
network card on the server will be set to a subnet of 192.168.1.x.
As an intermediate step, we were planning to put both these subnets on the
same wires, by plugging both network cards on the sbs server into the same
switch. Current clients in their current config will simply not see this
other subnet. As we integrate them into the win 2k03 network we can set the
subnet mask to 255.255.254.0, so they should be able to see both the current
mail server and the SBS file server 9these machines will then be entering
the domain of the sbs server).
When all machines are in the sbs domain, we can switch over to exchange,
push the outlook clients out to the client machines and remove the
192.168.0.x traffic from the internal network
Does this sound reasonable? I know it's hard to describe without the
diagrams on the flip chart for you to look at, but I hope you get the
gist...
