Can I use WCF on Visual Studio 2005?

I am about to start a project that uses third party web services. Due to the legacy system I am told that I can only use Visual Studio 2005 / .NET 2.0. (Though I'd prefer Visual Studio 2008 over .NET 3.5)

I understand that WCF was released since .NET 3.0. So, is it possible to use WCF in Visual Studio 2005 using only WCF.NET 3.0 assemblies? Then I'll try to convince them that it's like using an external framework that doesn't get in the way.
