vLite with SP2. What does/doesn't work?

I have Vista 32bit with SP2 integrated in an .iso

Can I do everything with that using vLite that I did starting from an Anytime Upgrade DVD? (I used vLite to integrate SP1 then removed a bunch of stuff.) If there's anything at all that vLite will bugger up using the SP2 integrated .iso, I'd like to know *before* I spend a ton of time making a trimmed down disc.

I remove the sidebar, flip 3d, UAC, tons of drivers for hardware my laptop doesn't have and never will, all the useless frippery goes out. Amazing how *small* an 80 gig drive seems these days. My sister has an identical laptop, she likes the sidebar and some of the other bloat, so I've made more bloaty custom install DVDs for her.

What'd really be nice is some SP2 installer helper that either lies to the SP2 installer about the presence of missing stuff and shunts such updates off to /null, or temporarily installs stuff the SP2 installer really must have (from an un-modified SP1 updated disc or .iso), then rips them back out once SP2 is installed.
