Act Flywheel Counter Balance

I just got my act street strip clutch and street lite flywheel. The place a i bought it from told me i need a counter balance so i bought that also. Im gonna install it all this week sometime. Is there any think i should know about this flywheel counterweight all i know is it looks like the counter weight in the front of the motor. I didnt even know there was this part that was external from the motor, will i know right away which way 2 put it on once i got everything apart or does it go on a certain way?
I also bought a petite short shifter and they gave me a ground kit

As I recall, the counterweight can only be installed in one direction.

The stock flywheel has the counterwieght on the flywheel itself. In other words, it's one peice. You can see the extra chunk if you stare at it. The counterweight that you should have bought would be the one sold for the auto's.
