Default Bathroom Fan Electrical Connections

now that i've got the duct/soffit question answered, i have a question regarding the electrical.


i'm replacing an existing ceiling light with a bathroom fan/light combo.

i don't think it's a problem, but i figured i might ask.

anyone know if its a problem to hook up the electrical for the fan AND the light to the same switch so that once you flick the single switch both the fan and light go on.

i don't want to change the existing wiring to the existing ceiling light fixture.

also, i'm gonna be hooking up a wall timer and there are those for lights only and those for fans/lights...

stupid question but i'm assuming i need the one that would be able to handle the motor as well, or is that necessary?

thanks!
