Default Marking driveshaft to yoke?

Hey everybody im about to swap a rear end from a 99 camaro to my 94 camaro and was wondering if i should mark the rear end at the place where it meets the pinion yoke before i remove it? Ive heard that i could get a bad vibration if i dont install it the way it came off? I plan on using my stock driveshaft so i dont know if i should even mark it as i wont be using the driveshaft from the car. I hope you all can unsderstand what i am saying. Thanks for reading

Different setup so it doesnt matter imo. No way to tell. If it vibes, check the pinion angle. If it still vibes then clock the shaft. GL.

I have never heard of this, doesn't seem logical. I would not worry about it.

No problems man, itll be fine...you would need to screw up way worse than ds orientation to do anything half of "major". It WILL be fine, if it vibes itll be pinion angle. I think they put that note in all Haynes manuals as a precaution...ive never bothered.
