Default About to replace Harmonic Balancer

Just got me a new Harmonic Balancer. Hopefully this will solve my violent vibrations in this car. Now, how to install?

Do I have to lift / take out the engine to get to this thing?

Nope, take off the fan and the shroud. You'll need a puller also to get it off unless you get lucky and it slips off easily. (don't count on it thought). Remove the big bolt from the center and take off the pulley bolted to it as well.

Ok. But before I do this. Any other suggestion on what might be causing me bad vibrations? The car only vibrates at 1000RPM. Anything over this, is smooth.

looks like its not my harmonic balancer. I just checked to see if my cylinders were firing and the first one I pulled doesn't seem to be. I'll test some more tomorrow when there's more light.
