It can be done....I did it all the time. I checked the winner of the quick 32 S/S at the US Class Nationals several years ago and my measurement was "Dead on" the manufacurer spec. and matched the engine guide in the car at a 45 degree angle while leaning over the fender. If I remember correctly it was Randy Manns car. It was an Olds engine in a Camaro or Firebird (cant remember which) SS/GT car. It even surprised him.
