Let us know what happens.You can get an inexpensive angle finder and do the checking yourself in the future.
I had to learn that with adjustable arms on a GM G body with driveline issues.The tool is like $20 and with a little patience you can figure it out by adding and subtracting the angles.

You dn't have to have adjustable arms to need to know the angles if a problem comes up.You would be surprised at the amount of bad tolerances that can stack up from worn mounts and bushings.If you check the angles sometimes you can rule out a lot of stuff and go on to other things.A saggintrans mount could throw the angles off enough to cause a vibration.
A harder one to check would be a vibration caused by worn rear suspension bushings or a set of torque boxes stretched out from hard launches which would mean you would need to go to a repair for the bushings/Torque boxes or adjustable arms just to get things back in shape.
I pitched a driveshaft out of an 80 El Camino crossing the 1/8 mile mark at 93 mph becuase of some rear issues.Better to find them early.....................What a really neat noise that made.Sounded like $$$$$$$$$$$$$ lol

Even very minor undesired driveline angles can result in craploads of wheel hop, which can break all kinds of things.
