Default mexican 302 motor buildup.. questions

I am getting a Mexican 302 block in the next few months, and I'm still new to building up this type of setup...

First off, I'm getting the crane vertical locking bar roller lifters, which don't require smaller-base circle cams, and so I'm using a crane or custom cam and then edelbrock performer heads, RPM intake, EFI, forged pistons, etc, etc...

But what I was wondering about was balancing..

I can get a good price on a Billet Steel 28 oz flywheel.. So I obviously need to get a 28 oz harmonic balancer to match on the other end of the crank. But what about clutches? Do they need to be balanced to 28 oz as well ? And obviously the crank needs to be balanced to match the 28 oz balancer and flywheel, correct?

If the motor will only see 6500rpm, is it worthwhile to get a 28oz balancing? I've read that less spinning weight is better no matter what rpm you peak at..

Is there anything else I should know about for this buildup?

Thanks !
