Thinking about it again, the balance may end up being OK, but the engine
will not be smooth. It will shake just like a........60-degree V8.

Removing rotating mass can't hurt to get HP.  Though I guess it could
shake your engine to pieces which might be a bad thing.  ;)  Don't you
have an extra engine laying around collecting dust?  Sounds like a
summer project.
