Default Kenwood 870s and a Loop

Hello all,
My station consisted of an Icom 706MKIIG, the AH-4 tuner and a 360ft loop at
60 feet. The tuner is mounted at the loop on the roof with about 100ft of
coax to the rig.

I just purchased a Kenwood TS-870s with built in tuner. I'm running it on
the same feedline and thru the unpowered AH-4. The built in tuner works fine
and all seems good.

Question: I want to remove the AH-4 to go with my 706 for mobile/remote use.
Would a 1:1 balun work in place of the AH-4 to connect the loop to the
feedline? I work 15 thru 80 most of the time.
