Another vibration question..... 200 1991

I know, I know... I've read the other posts about driveline vibes and I just would like to tell you my situation.

I changed the rear main engine seal about 2 months ago, in the process the driveshaft halves were split apart and put back together without reguard to the previous orientation. About 2 weeks ago I started to notice a vibration starting around 40mph, btw it's a manual tranny, and it has gotten progressively worse. I thought that it might be the center bearing and carrier, so I changed those being careful to mark each end. I did move the shafts through there range of motion as well as I could to check the UV's and everything seemed fine. Then I noticed that the ends were marked with paint(I didn't notice the arrows) so this is the postion where I reinstalled them. No help, now it's getting very noticable, mirrors shaking, the HP hose for the P/S cracked(again)

The car is back up on jackstands in the garage dripping snow, salt and P/S fluid everywhere, I'm going to hang around here for a while and let that happen. I'll drop the driveshaft again and recheck the alignment and UV's to see if there is something I missed. I need the car tomorrow for work, 0445 ETD, so if anyone has any other info they might share because I would really like to take care of this tonight and get this done.
