This left me with a vanilla install of SHIII and another install of SHIII with GWX. I then went to my steam library, and added a non steam game link and added the location of the SHIII GWX install as the new game. I renamed it in steam so when it pops up it says Silent Hunter III with GWX 3.0.

So after testing both installs, all works well.

MY QUESTION IS, how does this effect career files? Theres just the SHIII folder in my documents. I assume I might have to back that up.
Rename each one to individually correspond with the installation the saves are from.
