Post Help! 1985 300D I forgot to match mark Pulley, Balance Plate and Timing Wheel!

When my AC Compressor seized, it tore my six hex bolts on the crankshaft pulley. These six bolts pass through the Crankshaft Pulley, Balance Plate or Wheel and the Timing Wheel, which is keyed to the Crankshaft.

I am repairing the damage now, but unfortunately when I removed everything I did not match mark the three components that are mounted to the front Crankshaft, which are (1) the main pulley, (2) the middle component, which I assume is a Harmonic Balancer or Balance Plate, (Its large flat and round.) and the (3) the timing wheel
I m terrified that when I place these parts back on the front of the crankshaft at largely Random Positions instead of their match-marked Original Positions, the engine will vibrate like H______.

Can you please give me some input?

I would not worry too much about the pulley. This may sound like an unorthodox way to do the others but I would try to find another car of the same model. Put it at tdc #1 and try to get an idea of where the "drill" points are around the other to assemblies. I'm sure that whenever these things were balanced at the factory they probably pretty much put the drill point at approximately the same place. This is the way I would try to do it if I were you. Not sure if there is a way to actually get the crank and balance assemblies balanced.
