How critical is the centerline?

My engine is not centered....but neither is my rear end pinion... the tube on the driver side is shorter, so the actual pinion yoke is shifted toward the pass side...just like the motor. Now that I have it all in there, and have shifter it back and forth alittle to get the tires exactly where I want them (probably not the exact same spot as when I mocked it up and measured), it looks like I could have shifted the pinion yoke maybe another 1/4-1/3 inch to the pass side to get everything dead center in the tunnel.

I've read up on it alot and it doesnt seem that critical....alot of Mopar guys are running centered pinions (axle length same on each side), with the standard offset motor and dont have issues. Basically they find great deals on used centered pinion yoke rearends, and just use them without changing anything...maybe beating in the tunnel a tad

So if the centerline is not dead on, is that a problem?
