Actually Nylon geared servos do BETTER under vibration because they "give" a bit without damage.
Conversely metal gear servos wear more under vibration.
However even a grossly out of balance system is not likely to cause problems with either, as long as the engine is not in direct contact with a servo rod/horn, etc...
If you are talking about say a throttle servo, things may be a bit different, and you may want to make sure that the throttle servo can "give" a bit to deal with vibration.

As to your original question, your original servos will do just fine with the new gas engine in the plane.
