Help understanding my odd timing?!?!

Is it a big deal to take the balancer off? Do I have to take out the radiator and all that?

Can someone post a link to a "good" balancer? There is a lot out there and prices are all over the map.

It is possible the cut down the outer ring? I brought in a stock 340 balancer, and they said not to worry about it because they machined to old one. So they said?!

When I got the new tranny I said it was a neutral balanced 360, and that's what they set the converter up for. It seems ok?!
