Balance Shafts

It turns out I need to replace the timing chain and guides on my 93 9000
CSE Turbo. There's a loud rattling noise at low idle. My service guy
suggested replacing only the chain that connects the camshafts to the crank
and taking the second chain (connects to balance shafts) out. All of this
is to save money (I have little). He said the 2.3L is smooth enough w/o
the balance shafts.

Has anyone ever done this? Are the timing chains as problematic as I am
hearing? Responses are appreciated.
