Carl,
What you "used to do" is not brain surgery. Don't act like it is.

It's best to arrive at the shop with alignment in the ballpark.
I used to do front end work for a living- if you can drive on the rack, you
can bring it back into alignment.
Caster and camber are highly interactive on this vehicle, ie you loosen
the upper A-frame mounts and wiggle everthing around to change both
settings.
Front end shops have a tool for that...
If they are 'way off, you're far less likely to get a
satisfactory result from some guy who's used to just setting the
toe-in.
Bull****- toe is the last operation done.
Vans really need to be thrust angle aligned- not a driveway job.
Do you change your own oil?
Do you do your own brain surgery?
Some of us have curiousity that goes a
little further 
Curiosity killed the cat :-(
