Can't think of any -- except this one:

DISCONNECT the feed from the climate control system to this solenoid so
that you can't backfeed 12 volts to the climate control system when you
don't want to.  I suppose you can add a diode if you want to prevent the
backfeed, but given that the stock climate control almost never goes into
recirc, there is no reason not to control it all from your new switch.
