All you need to do is remove the counterweight off of your 50 oz/in flexplate. Then, have it zero balanced. If money is tight, you can zero balance your flexplate on an old style lawnmower blade static balancer.
The neat thing about a zero balanced engine is that when you replace a harmonic damper or flywheel, no match balancing has to be done to duplicate the external balance of your old part. Sometimes the old parts are torn up/worn to where a match balance attempt wouldn't be 100% accurate anyway.
