Do Early A-Bodies Truly Have Lower Profile Hoods?

The first generation Ford Mustang hood does not seem to me to stick up any higher from the ground than the first generation Barracuda (although I have never measured or compared them side-by-side). But didn't Chrysler claim the six cylinder motors were manufactured at a 30 degree angle to allow for a more streamlined profile?

Anyone have both of the above vehicles at home and can do a comparison for us? Thank you.
