Saab 340- critical engine

Just wondering if anyone can help me confirm once and for all as to whether the saab has a critical engine.
Common logic would suggest the left is critical, due to clockwise rotating propellers however I cannot confirm this with the AOM or any company documentation.
Have had it suggested that the greater number of vortex generators on the right side of the aircraft counteract any extra yaw in event of left engine failure however once again, I can't find anything to support this.

Any help or references (web or otherwise) would be gratefully appreciated...
