You won't be using a N or S horizon. It has to be east or west (0 deg declination. Basically 90 deg to your RA axis). you won't be able to drift align point towards the north or the south, basically point towards where the sun comes up or goes down and that will get you close enough.

I don't bother using the dec circle on my mount, I simply turn my dec axis is 90 deg to the RA and that will do it
