skew would be 90 since you are only aiming at 1 satellite.
elevation is about 5 degrees lower the 119
azimuth would be about 10 degrees west of 119
that should give you at least something for signal work from.
A simple satellite meter would make it much easier.

I install in the souther eastern to near sout central region of michigan and sometimes north western ohio. For the 121 superdish that gets 121, 119, and 110 I set the elevation to 30, skew is 123, signal strengths for the 121 average around %80 but Ive had it just above %100 once and can get it into the %90 range more often.
Even though dbs dish's can be out of alignment and still get signal to a degrea the settings for each are specific so you cant set a dish to specs for 119 and get a 110 signal unless your mast is out of wack, same goes for trying to get the 121 with a dish set to 119 specs.

Actually, Van, you CAN get a signal across the BSS board - it just won't be that good. My pointing method is to set skew & elevation, hook up my beeper to the 119 eye, then scan from west to east, stopping on the 3rd hit (Used to be the 2nd hit 
). Then I adjust elevation for max strength. Usually, 110 falls in without change, athough today I was reusing an existing mast for a REALLY old Dish300 (the Legacy LNB was labeled "Echostar"). No way to plumb it without a remount, so I had to muck with it by ear.
Of course, you will NEVER get a signal for 121 or 105 from a BSS LNB - those birds are FSS.
