Assuming you still have tension in the chain (i.e. the IP gear is still in the loop) you need to pull valve cover so you can see when you're at 0 degrees at the cam AND the crank. 720 degrees of crank to get 360 at the cam.

I thought the IP removal was at 15 degrees ATDC, but if you took it out at 0, then i guess your IP should be at zero too. Install IP, and go to town with the A-B lights to make sure you're at 15 (or is it 14) degrees ATDC when both lights come on. Adjust per FSM accordingly.

I did this a few months ago, and worked fine. Just rolling the car down the driveway can move the engine so even before the car was turned over, probably already into a little pickle.
