[Elecraft] Adding a P3 to a "Busy" K3 RS232 connector?

I'm hoping to add a P3 to one of the two K3s that I currently run in SO2R
configuration. Both K3s are connected to a microHam MK2R+. The RS232 and
ACC connectors on both radios are "busy" with both being connected to the
MK2R+ . and one with an additional Y-cable that provides band data to a
SteppIR controller . and both ACCs providing band data through the MK2R+
and on to band decoders that switch bandpass filters in and out. At least
I think so.. because I always have to get out my notes and diagrams to sort
things out every time I disconnect/connect or make any changes or
adjustments.
My question: Will I create any conflicts when I add a P3 to one of the
radios? I'm hoping I can just run a cable from the RS232 connector on the
K3 to the "xcvr" RS232 P3 connector, and move the cable currently connected
to the K3 RS232 to the "PC" RS232 connector on the P3 ... and all will be
well and good!?
Has anyone with a similar setup been there and done that? I'd rather avoid
any unwanted surprises if I can. Comments?
