Affa you should not need to align the motor, but you should have the alignment checked, by using a alignment tool, before you re-install drive just as a precaution to catch any potential problems such as a sagging engine mount for example, But if you can't get alignment checked, a the least just make sure drive goes back on smoothly. if it does the chances are alignment is good.
