Dual use of timers with serial port

I'd like to find out if it is possible to use a timer for general purpose timing/counting and then configure it midway through the program for serial port baudrate setup,transmit data and then reconfigure it again for timing/counting.My application requires 2 timers as well as a serial port only for transmission.I would like to use the Atmel AT89C2051 with only 2 timers.
Has anyone used such a configuration with the dual use of the timer?Have there been any problems or should I watch for any particular "bug".Thanx
