Flywheel Problem

On the flywheel there is a counterweight welded, I marked the flywheel and torque converter in the tranny where they should line up together. My problem is that I haven't marked where the flywheel should be positioned on the crankshaft of the block. The six holes can be lined up in any order. Does it matter where the counterweight should be positioned on the block?

The six holes cannot line up any way.
They only line up one way.
If you can't see it first then you have to put ALL 6 bolts in to find out which way it goes.

Don't forget your pilot bearing!

Cool, thanks guys. I just got scared the other day when looking at it, seemed like the 6 holes were identically spaced apart.
