Harmonic balancer interchangeably
Harmonic balancer interchangeably I am doing a swap using a 2002 LS-1 where I am using all C6 accessories (looking everything up as 2006). I can’t find a definitive answer as to which harmonic balancer to use. As I look up the parts, I see the one for the year Corvette I’m looking up the accessories for is listed as 05-06 only. Was there different depths on corvettes through the C6 year range or different weight balancers for the different engine sizes?

Generally, the crank damper on these motors is part of a set with the accessories. You can put any damper on any motor as long as the other accessories match. Accessory setups mostly go with body style; I know the trucks are different from the cars, not sure how different (or not) Vettes are from F bodies or to what extent they may have varied over time (or not).
If you're using a 2006 Vette accessory system, use a damper for that year and chassis, and you should be sure of compatibility.

Distance from the block is the determining item.
Truck is furthest out, the F body is the next closest, the Vette is the tightest. The accessories, such as alt, p/s can/will be different, in both mounting dimensions, and location on the engine.
