 Yes, if you are balancing, all moving parts should be balanced. What the
 balancer people do, is make sure that all the pistons and rods weigh the
 same. Then, they will add that amount of weight to the crank journals while
 they balance that. Then they attach the flywheel, and balance the whole
 unit.
