Please Help me with my figures on Setting up the Stabb 100HH

I have purchased a stabb motor 100 hh and a dish from you. I was doing the figures and I would appreciate a clarification on a couple of issues. I have a fortec lifetime reciever with the 36 inch dish and the stabb motor...universal LNB.

My Latitude is 34.40
My longitude is 118.55

P factor is 50.1

Azimuth is 180.

Now here are my questions:

1) In order to locate true south...I should subtract 15 (the magnetic deviation since I am south of Los Angeles) from 180 and set my Azimuth
to 165.

I then should set the azimuth at 165 representing TRUE south?

2) My dish elevation the way I calculate it is 25.6. I set this elevation on my motor?

3) Is it correct to set the motor, pole and dish, to true South (165) and then after I have set it to true south..Turn on Usals and move the dish to the southern most sat...The way I calculate it is that my southern most sat should be either 116 or 119. Which one is it? and then after Usals moves the dish to the southern most satellite...I tune into the strongest transponder on that sat and then via USALS....all the other sats should fall into place.

Am I correct or is there something I am missing? I haven't gotten the equipment yet but want to make sure my homework is done.

Thank you for your help
