That's how I do them,
Have the car sitting at ride height and I put a spirit level on the flange of the manifold ,set it front to back and then left to right.

I usualy set my engines at 5° nose up. This usualy levels out the carb. But more important is that the engine angle needs to match the pinion angle one the rear end. This will balance out the u-joints and help minimize vibration.
