In my opinion you should try to move the tail of the transmission up a bit if you have room. It will extend the life of your U-joints. Less angle less wear. That being said you need a minimum of 1.5 degrees of angle on each end of the shaft for things to work correctly. As it was stated earlier try to match the angles as close as possible.
If you are interested I have some information posted on my WBM thread (page 14) below of what I did to mine.
Good luck
