Default Getting in time

Just want to verify that I will be doing this the right way I dont want to have to tear it back down. Its a 93 LT1 with unvented opti. I just took the timing set off and will be replacing it with a new set. So all I have to do is line up the dots on the cam and crank sprocket, 6 oclock for cam and 12 for crank sprocket and thats it? There is no way to mess up the timing? I have studied the opti very well and I see the flat spots on the splined shaft and how it goes together so that should be no problem. The opti did turn inside a little while I was putting the little splined shaft in but as long as the shaft is in right that doesnt matter right? Thanks.

That's it. It's very simple.

Dot to dot, yes.
Spline drive, no idea.
