Driveshaft-pinion angle

I'm installing my TR6 engine with a Toyota Supra gearbox onto my GT6 chassis.
I've cut and welded the chassis for the gearbox and now I need to weld on the
engine mounts and tranny mount.

My question is, what is an acceptanble driveshaft angle to the differential
pinion shaft & the transmission output shaft?  I have it set up now so that
the tranny output shaft and the differential pinion shaft are parallel, and
the tranny u-joint is above the differential u-joint.  As it is now, the
driveshaft is 7 degrees from the pinion shaft and the tranny output shaft.  Is
7 degrees acceptable?

TIA,
