what to do if!!!!!
what can be done or should i not worry about it to much but im doing a LS1 swap in a no standard LS1 car and to keep from modifing alot up front can i run with the center of the transmission output shaft about 3/4" off center and just run the driveshaft at a slight angle or will i get a lot of vibration if i keep the diff in the center?

both the motor and tranny should end up about 5/8"-3/4" to the passenger side but i would like to keep the rear end centered. would I be better off getting different lenght axles made when I do have them made and just offset the rear end as well. Or will the difference eat up the U joints on the driveshaft?

Datsun purposely built their 240-280's with the engine/trans offset about 3/4 inch to the passenger's side. I kept my V8 swap over about an inch. No problem, and that is with a 22 inch drive shaft.
Like the other's have said, just keep the two ends parallel and the total angle (left right and up down) around 3 degrees.
Here is a way of using laser pointers to check the alignment in both planes.
