Guidescope mounting.

Howdy all!
Ive got my new EQ6 set up to go on the pier out the back(semi permanent) and have been drifting it in with my 4in scope. I was going to use my 10in reflector(aperture fever) as I just love this scope and have had the guide scope on top of the 10in. I tried to search for side by side setup info but didn't really find too much except a few pictures. Guide scope is an 80st Orion, so weighs very little and is quite tiny really(its so cute).
Would I have to shift the main scope sideways a bit before mounting the guide scope considering the weight difference? If I did or didn't, how would this affect the balance and anything else I haven't thought of yet?
