I just wrapped up my campaign, and I did this in that one. All 3.5 books were allowed, and material from 3.0 books was allowed as long as it was updated or brought to my attention first.
I had two problems:
1. Once the party passed 8th level or so, I had a really hard time challenging them. This was mainly due to there being 7 players, my having never dm'd a group over 7th level before, and my allowing the bard to use the words of creation (from BoED) to double the entirety of his bardic music bonus (so he added any bonuses he had in, and then doubled it).
2. I had a fundamental disconnect with one of my players from the start, and it just went downhill.
It's not too bad though. Just make sure things go through you for approval, and you should be ok. Be sure to take advantage of all those sources to make your bad guys too.
