The normal way to balance is to start off by balancing the crank on it's own then add all the bits that would attach to it, building it all up and balancing them one by one. I have just had my engine balanced and they did the crank, flywheel, clutch, damper and front pulley although I dont know if you have a damper on your engine. Don't forget to supply them with all the bolts as well.
I had 3 engine failures, all out of balance related and found out it was the clutch cover (the only component common to all of them) which had bent mountings on the pressure plate putting it out of balance.
