There were many cars up to the 1950's that used a torque tube drive instead of the Hotchkiss driveshaft that is universally used today.

These torque tube drives used only one universal joint & it was located just behind the gearbox. Engineers knew even back at the turn of the 20th century that you do not experience any detectable velocity fluctuations from the uni if the deflection is not more than about 7 degrees from the straight & narrow, although 5 degrees would be prefered. Even this figure allows a 10 degree sweep & this was within the normal movement of the joint in this application.

If you can keep the angle of deflection, when seen in plan view, to within about 5 degrees, you should be fine.
