Thanks for responding back. There's valuable reasons to validate your U-joint working angles that go beyond preventing noticeable driveshaft vibrations. Minimalized U-joints angles provide the most efficient transfer of power and also a higher safe maximum RPM ceiling (the higher their angles, the less RPM your joints can safely be turned at). Lastly, since your U-joint angles are directly tied to your engine inclination angle, optimizing/minimizing them also means your transmission pan, or case of a T56, tucks higher up in the car for more ground clearance and protection.
