The early 2.2 didn't have balancer shafts like the later ones did. If you are sure it's the motor causing it (not a miss fire/weak cylinder etc) may want to upgrade to the later versions of the 2.2/2.5's Or consider a V8 swap!

The only 2.2 that had balance shafts I think were the 2.2 vnt engines, all others were 2.5 4cylinders which weren’t available in 1982

engine vibrations can come from a miss adjusted timing belt but you would also have sluggish power and distributor would be cocked around and not lined up properly
