That's NOT a good plan. Actually applying weights to an A/B crank is a somewhat complicated process. Some weights bolt on, some weld on and some are pressed on. BEFORE applying weights the crank should be magnafluxed. The crank should then be straightened and checked for proper journal sizes. Then, except for the press-on weight type, the crank can be ground if need be. In any case it should be balanced afterward.
Press on weight application is quite involved and has been covered in other posts in the past.
