Being the old school hot rodder, all the instruction I ever had was to be sure the transmission output shaft and pinion shaft are in parallel planes. The angle from the trans shaft to drive shaft and pinion shaft to drive shaft should be the same. That formula always worked fine for me.

But as with anything, there is always some design/exception to screw up some good basic rules that are easy to follow.
