Default Driveline angle?

On my LS swap, I've just completed installing the driveshaft. What is the final driveline spec? Is it + - 2 degrees?

Wow, I hope I don't fail the test after reading that.

My driveshaft is sitting at 1.5 degrees from level. Is that good or bad or okay? I thought I saw in that document showing 1-1.5 as the spec.

You just failed the test. Get used to your fillings rattling out of your mouth.
Forget the driveshaft angle, that will be within spec. You need to match the motor and differential angle.
