Maybe - the main problem: With 3... Nc6 I'm move ordered out of the Kan. This means I have to learn another Sicilian. After 3... d6 White may play d4 or not and these are complete different structures.
The books don't discuss this according to my search. The 1.c4 move orders don't discuss this, neither do the Kan books. Having to learn the Taimanov is a big task when not having learned the Kan yet properly. The Kan alone is something for more than a year.
I have played the Kan for a long time now, and I agree, this can potentially be a tricky move order. But I don't think you should be afraid of playing 3...Nc6, Black is doing alright after that and you don't have to learn the whole Taimanov complex (although it actually helps to study that one too as sometimes ...Nc6 simply is the best move).
The line mentioned by BadDays is the one also Delchev and Semkov recommend in the Most Flexible Sicilian (which is about both the Kan and Taimanov). I am quite sure it is also analyzed in their earlier book The Safest Sicilian, although I can't find my copy. The key move is 6...Bb4 as already mentioned above by both Ordinary and BadDays. There is an old game, Kramnik-Kasparov, 1994, in this variation (because I don't have the book here, I can't check if it is in the Safest Sicilian and the comments although I think it is there). Kasparov made a mistake by not taking on c3. Have a look at it.
D&S give the line Ordinary mentions above, with 4. Nc3 e5. If you don't like it, 3...Nc6 might indeed be a problem for you as a Kan-player. But it is fine, and I suggest you should look into 3...Nc6, and not just go for a system approach i.e. all the time going for ...b7-b5 and ...Nbd7, because this setup is not always the best for Black.
