cast crank to forged in 440

I have a '73 440 forged crankshaft with the correct balancer. About a year ago my mechanic friend rebuilt my 727 transmission & ordered a new torque converter. There's been engine vibration when throttle above idle, did the research, not supposed to have the 2 weights and plug since it's NOT a cast steel crankshaft so I rotated the torque converter and sure enough it has the weights and plug. It is ok to grind these weights and plug off vs buying a new TC without the weights?

Leave the drain plug alone.
