I've symlinked the majority of the shared assets (the 1.2GB of HL2 content), maps, sounds, materials, etc. This seems to work well. It's going to be pretty rough with VPKs, but you should be able to achieve the same result. I think each installation takes 400MB~, not all files can be symlinked. (I haven't tried hard links when this didn't work). You should be able to do the same.
Thanks, Kyle.
