what is the purpose of the balance chain & shafts?

I know that probably sounds pretty stupid but I just don't see why they would be needed if the motor assembly is already balanced.
I've seen on the internet that a few people who modify late 80's and early 90's turbo dodges (turbo spirit, minivan, daytona) have removed the balance shafts as one of the first modifications, and don't seem to have any problems with the motors afterwords.
I know that we're talking about Saabs and Dodges, but the operation should be close to the same.
any responses are appreciated.
