LT1 Street twin balancing

I want to take my new clutch to have it checked to make sure it's neutrally balanced. Do I only take the flywheel to have it checked or do I have to take more of it with me? I looked on the back and there is no weight bolted on. Is that what I want or not. I bought this clutch because it was considered the best one for an LT1 but I'm not sure I bought the right part #. (I know should've done more research. Live and Learn )

Thanks,

Bryan

If you engine builder built your 383 neutrally balanced, then take your entire clutch assembly (flywheel, pressure plate, both clutch disks and intermediate plate) to be balanced. Keep the assembly together as shipped as there a shims inside the assembly that must remain in the correct order.

Thanks,
I'll just leave it like I got it (all bolted together in one piece) and give it to the guy that's going to balance the rotating assembly.

If you haven't already, provide him with the crank balancer too.
