1980 SLC Wheel alignment

I brought my car into a local tire/wheel shop for an alignment today, after having completed all the steering work(lower ball joints,tie rods,sub frame bushings,drag link,steering coupler,stabilizer,shocks,etc....), I got a call at the end of day saying they don't have the alignment specs. for my car in their database, too old. Now this is a large 12 bay shop and they have all the computerized alignment equipment. Does this sound right for a 1980? I hope they didn't screw up anything. The steering was tight and quite responsive when i bought it in, was just pulling to the right a bit.

I had my ball joints done about 125 miles ago by a local indy and he said he did an alignment, but thats when it started to pull to the right. I'm pretty sure he doesn't have any of that fancy alignment equipment and I was gonna take it back to him and complain(he charged me $78 for alignment), but decided to just take it to a professional alignment shop so it could be done right. I'm getting a little paranoid now becuse of all the time and effort and money I've put into the front end. I thought alignment would be pretty straight forward. Any thoughts or advice? Should I have taken to the dealer or what, Thanks
