I just changed my clutch but whenI put the flywheel back in, I removed those little stubs that were on it so it would be flush up against the part of the tranny that I mounted it to.
Would this cause a slight vibration around low RPM's?

Yep, I took those out to install my Ram PP, and never had a problem....
Vibration could be from not properly tq'ing down the flywheel. If you're not paying attention, you can bolt down the flywheel cockeyed and it won't sit flush. I have caught this at the last minute before bolting up the PP.

with the stock clutch, the pressure plate drives against those pins since the pp bolts are not shouldered. They really ought to be there unless you change to another style cover.

I took the pins out to put in a Ram PP and disk. I do have a very slight low rpm vib, I think it's around the 2300 rpm range and lasts for maybe a couple hundred r's then is smooth. Haven't pulled the car out of storage yet so can't be more specific. I did run the car up to ~6k and there is no other vibes.
I doubt it is the removal of the pins causing it since they balance out each other and weigh next to nothing in relation to the rest of the moving assembly. saw a thread last fall that said sometimes the switch to a hp clutch can in some cases give slight vibes.
