It's even beneficial by removing them due to the less pressure on the bearings and other parts of the engine. LEARN TO READ THE INFO BEFORE POSTING. The second one you posted talks about the benefits of engine balancing and the tools that will help you. How do I know that? Because I had to read that one to have a list of engine balancing tools for my future shop. It only says that balance shafts aren't substitutes for engine balancing, as most people think.Next time, READ

Balancing goes hand-in-hand with performance engine building. Balancing reduces internal loads and vibrations that stress metal and may eventually lead to component failure.

Nevertheless, some owners modify their engines by removing the balance shafts, both to reclaim some of this power and to reduce complexity and potential areas of breakage for high performance and racing use, as it is commonly (but falsely) believed that the smoothness provided by the balance shafts can be attained after their removal by careful balancing of the reciprocating components of the engine.

i personally wouldnt remove them myself, but thats also for ride quality-i have a 88 monte that shakes enough for me...
but then again, everyone was worried about the solid pulleys and vibrations--so its hard to tell

Removing the balance shafts will not hurt your engine and neither will pulleys. Too many know it all's around here.
DSM and Evo guys have been doing this for over ten years and some of their cars rev to 9,000 rpms. The MFG's added them for comfort and that is all.
