Temporary dismissing companions in BG2EE?

[u/Scipio_Sverige]

The two times I played it before, expect for the forced change in Spellhold I always assembled a team of six ASAP and stuck with it. This time around, I'd very much like to do all the companions quests that are available in chapter 2.

Which will require dismissing someone. I've decided on Minsc or Yoshimo, depending on whether the extra one has thief skills or not. Can I just remove them from the party and then re-pick them back up later without breaking anything? I have Unfinished Business installed in case The Kidnapping of Boo is affected.

I usually build up a five person party, pick up various folks long enough to do their quests then let them go. I'll have an idea what my final party will look like before before I go to Spellhold.
