crank is keyed the HUB is not. the ballancer just bolts on to the hub. you can have the hub keyed and use a key or buy a keyed hub and reuse the stock ballancer. Or just reuse the stock hub and ballancer as is. the keyed hubs are to keep it from spining on the crank.

When you go to put the hub back on, hopefully with the proper tool, look at the crank carefully. Over time, the hot engine oil has a tendency to "tattoo" a mark on the crank snout, where the slot of the hub would be in the correct position.
If you're worried about the hub turning on the crank, but don't want to spend the $$ for an aftermarket balancer, Golen Engine Service sells a machined replacement hub, that accepts the OE pulley, but has a key slot. IIRC, it's around $100-125. I recently purchased one, but haven't installed it yet.
