Ditto, I level my tripod so that for polar alignment, the altitude of the mount will be close to correct (saves time).
As for azimuth, I use a star near the east/west horizon as the reference - look up its dec and set the mount to that declination, rotate in azimuth to centre this in a finderscope.
This is is good enough for visual, but for imaging I'll refine it using a camera and SharpCap.
