Ignore the polar scope, they are OK for the northern hemisphere, but I've found not much use over here unless youy have a clear view of the stars around the SCP.
For drift alignment all you need is an eyepiece with illuminated crosshairs and this simple guide. Since you have found true south and have the elevation set to your latitude. Easy from here. Only difference I have found is that if you are using a reflector, adjust the azimuth in the opposite direction to the instructions.

Cheers
