If you don't care about reusing the balancer, just apply heat with a map gas torch to the bolt head. There is loctite under the head of the bolt that can be a pain sometimes. More than likely, the balancer will be fine...it would really take a lot of heat to screw it up. When the bolt head is good and hot, hit it with an air impact, it'll come out. Just be carefull/mindfull of how much heat you're putting into the balancer....should be no biggie.

I'd just save the cash for stuff that really matters

Keep in mind that a regular ls1 intake will gain you nothing over a truck intake. The ls6 intake will be marginally better. Since you're trying to do a low-buck build, don't discount the truck intake.....if your hood will clear. The truck accessories, though not as asthetically appealing, are a hell of a lot easier to be had for cheap....as long as front-to-radiator clearance is not an issue. I've seen a couple of "smoothed" truck intakes, and they did not look too bad really.
