"This would have an effect with my shifter, exhaust system, floor if I'm close, not looking forward to this"

The stock engine angle is approximately 4º to the frame. You didn't say if your measureed 4.1º is to the frame or ground, but if your car has a level stance, you don't need to be moving the engine mounts. You rotate the pinion upward.

"this would be drive shaft angle to pinion angle, if I have 3 degrees on the pinion and 2 degrees on the drive shaft, then I should be good? at the moment I'm looking at 6.7 degrees if the pinion does have 2 degrees, would this be correct?"

I can't tell from the numbers you quoted whether it's correct or not. You are confusing me because you said eearlier that the pinion angle was 2º down. If you rotate the axle upward on a stock or near stock 57, you'll be decreasing the u-joint angle.
