Default Engine Placement and Lateral Balance

It appears that an engine mounted on its side (9 o'clock) throws the lateral balance off some. Is the best way to counter this to put a bit of weight on the opposite wing tip?

If so, how does the plane react while in a loop when the right side weight is close to the fuse and the left side weight is out on the wing?
