Flywheel balancing question

I have a 93 LT1 M6 and my engine is internally balanced so i have a ATI Damper thats neutrally balanced and i was told i need a neutral balanced flywheel....some ppl have said to take the stock flywheel and grind the weights off them....the problem i'm having is the stock flywheel/flexplate doesn't seem to have any weights added....it seems like its all one part with a ring gear cast into it for the starter....its pretty heavy also and doesn't look like a normal thin flywheel...can someone help me please? Oh yeah, I tried searching but i need a answer pretty quick...Thanks

Stock LT1 is externally balanced at the rear, using a weight on the flywheel (M6) or flexplate (A4).

Even if you found the weights, I wouldn't just grind them off and assume its now neutral balanced. Take the flywheel to a shop and have it neutral balanced.

On the flywheel should it have a weight going across the top from hole to hole on the side that says engine side. I'm lost to what flexplate to get I'm being told to get internally balanced. But all parts store houses have a weighted flexplate on 1 side.
