The pinion angle is set based on the driveshaft angle which should be inline with the engine (i.e. crank angle) and by what type of bushings are being used in the control arms, right?

No. The pinion angle is based on the rear end only. The rear can be pointing up or down, which also affects the ujoint angle at the rear end. The 2 ujoint angles is what you need.
