If you have an original stock flywheel, that has never been turned before then you can certainly have it resurfaced. Do not remove more than .015" though as this will make the flywheel overly thin and as such can affect clutch release. Shiming can be done though i do not suggest shimming the flywheel because this will affect the location of the ring-gear.
What clutch are you planning to you? I ask because our clutch kits include a .115" shim that is intended to be istalled behind the slave-cylinder though this is not relative to using an overly thin flywheel (it is used as a result of our clutch assembly having a lower stack height than the stock parts). If you need a shim let me know, they cost $5. You can also take a look at the link below relative to measuring to insure what shim thickness you need.

Let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks,

If you remove the minimum amount of material from the flywheel (.015" max) you shouldn't need a shim for this. One thing to keep in mind though is insuring that you have the appropriate parts. If you are using an LS7 clutch then you need a flywheel with a recessed friction surface. Make sure that your flywheel has this, otherwise the parts won't work together. Let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks,
