Finally, my first 360 and goals for it! I'll be asking a lot of questions.

thats #1 firing, dot to dot is #6. during install go dot to dot then roll engine over to #1 firing
I'm confused. The shop manual goes on about how important it is to have nb 1 cylinder at tdc on the compression stroke before removing the cam and be sure not to move the crank after this. Are you saying I should turn it over to tdc on nr 6 cylinder, align dot to dot and then turn it over to nr 1 again???

Just out of curiosity, why cant I just install the cam just the same position as the one I took out?
