What is the rattle?!

What is the rattle?!
I have a 1993 Bonneville SSEi and I have a nasty sounding rattle at idle. Once I get the RPM over 1300 it dissapates. The motor is also acting funny, it idles fine then stumbles then fine. I have just replaced the supercharger (rebuild from Canadian Superchargers) and the water pump. I ran the car with the serpentine belts off and no noise. I tried isolating by using one belt at a time and it still had the problem. I am thinking it is the harmonic balancer. I just want to be sure though. Has anyone else ran into this problem? Could that be the cause of my motor troubles?

I talked to a couple mechanics and they said it was the harmonic balancer, the only problem is getting my hands on one. I have tried a few places and no one stocks them or even orders them Autozone has one for $149 but it is a special order. Any other places to check?

Rock Auto has a replacement harmonic balancer that is the same as the GM OEM balancer. It'* about $98.00.
