There might be more elegant and/or readable solutions to this task,
but taking your awk script as a starting point, this should give
you the result you want:

     awk 'NR == FNR { c[$1]++; next }   \
          $1 ~ /^[0-9]+/ && c[$2] == 0' \

         file1 file2

"$1 ~ /^[0-9]+/" will get rid of file2's header, including the blank
line that follows it, and "c[$2] == 0" will be true for any number in
the second column of file2 that had not been inserted into the array
when processing file1.
