Can stock save/ship coexist with part mod save/ship?

[Jestersage]

I am tempted to go back into the Alcubierre Drive mod. That being said, I want my stock save to still be functional in a stock game.

Does that work as it is, or do I need to take further pre-cautions?

 

EDIT: Should I have move this to Gameplay questions?

@Jestersage Your savegame will never become incompatible with stock KSP from using part mods. However, loading a savegame in an install where parts are not present causes all active vessels using these parts to be instantly removed from existance.

In other words, if you have a ship with an Alcubierre Drive in orbit of Jool after playing with the mod for a while, and you then remove the mod and play stock again, then loading your savegame will delete the spacecraft in orbit of Jool without a trace. Everything else will remain unaffected. The game will even remember that the part was already researched if you add it back later after having removed it in the interim. It's just active, in-flight vessels that disappear forever.
