I currently have VS 2008 Express installed with some c# projects. I
have a need to install VS 2005 for a project developed with that
version. Before I attempt that, is there any gotchas I need to look
out for? Or is it even wise to attempt?

I was running VS2005 and VS2008 at the same time without problems. But
I did it a little different. I already had VS2005 installed, then I
installed VS2008. Once I finished up my need for VS2005 I uninstalled
it. Again, without problems.

If all you need to do is compile the application to a lower level of .NET, then you don't need to install an older VS release. However, if you are sharing project files with the customers, then, yes, you will need the older release. Fortunately multiple releases function just fine on the same system!
