Lightweight flywheels counterweight compatibility

Quick question, primarily directed towards those who have tried this and failed, or generally someone that can agree with me.

I am swapping out an automatic out of my '90 N/A. Now, i also have a lightwieght flywheel for my '93, and i was hoping to use the counterweight from my second gen, but being that it is N/A, it is my understanding that the counterweight will be off-balance, given that the N/A rotors are heavier...even in the series five...anyone have any input or thought for me?

Rear counterweight must match the rotating assmbly. S5 N/A C/W will work on the FD engine. 89- up are all the same.. Your good to go..
