If you are talking high rev racing engines, it is prudent to have the entire
engine balanced with all moving parts attached. However, for street use,
having each assembly balanced should be sufficient.
Most clutch disks and pressure plates are close enough out of the box that
having everything balanced when attached should not be necessary.
Results may vary!

So that when you put in a new clutch assembly you have to remove the
flywheel and have it balanced again?
The plate has to be balanced separately anyway: Every time you use the
clutch the plate winds up at a different random position.
