CM New Flywheel Balance

1995 White Coupe, 6 speed 71K
Clutch was bad so bought the car at a good price this past fall. Have it all apart and intend to replace clutch assembly and as is recommended the flywheel. As I found out the Dual mass flywheel if no longer available, so I am replacing it with a solid steel one from Carolina Clutch. They told me that I will need to balance the new one as it will be neutral. They said just take it to a machine shop and they will match the two. I called and talked at length with two machine shops and they both said it was not that easy. Anyone have any info that will help me?

find a shop that has a 1995 corvette crankshaft and harmonic damper and all that has to be done is bolt the flywheel to the crank and balance the rotating assy
