Default Harmonic balancer change

I'm changing out my HB on my 06 C6 with A6 in the next few days. Do the weights on the original HB need to be moved to the new one if I'm going to an after market HB?

I'm putting on a Power bond 1117-N which has holes drilled in the face similar to the factory HB.

No, just swap them out. don't forget a NEW BOLT, LOCTITE & new belts. check the front oil seal.

Got the ARP bolt. Which comes with a lubricant to torque it down. Should I use the provided lube or locktite? I've seen a few threads say to locktite it. I also have a pinning kit coming to keep it from spinning, should I put a super charger on it in the future.

I love LOCTITE I put it on my Corn Flakes. Pinning the crank is one great idea, Arp is another. Good luck and have fun. You are in for about 5 hours worth of work.
