Default 302cui 28oz vs. 50oz. different crankshafts?

Do the crankshafts for the late model 50oz imbalance engines have heavier counterweigths than the 28oz cranks, or is the extra weight only added to the flywheel and damper?

I'm building a new engine with TRW forged pistons and scat rods. The balancer and flywheel I'm going to use are for a 28oz imbalance rotating assembly.
Can I use a crankshaft from a 5.0 engine that had 50oz imbalance with my parts?
Or is this not a problem at all due to the fact that the complete rotating assembly is going to be balanced anyway?

Thanks,

Simon
