Sorry, I should have been a little more detailed (also just notices the "anti-sleaze" typo, which obviously should have been seize).
Anyway, my procedure was thus:
1. Threadlock applied to NDS cup threads and inside washer
2. Install BB with nothing (no thread lock) on DS threads, with desired chainline placement (although there really isn't that much room for adjustment) set on DS
3. Tighten NDS side down firmly, but not quite to full torque spec
4. Next day remove DS, apply threadlock, re-install DS and torque to 70nm
5. Go around and put the torque wrench on the NDS, and find that it immediately clicks off a 70nm
Now, I'm not saying this is correct or anything, just sharing what I did. And I'm satisfied that everything is as it should be.

Do you mean simply installing the cups, or tightening down to final torque spec? As mentioned, I "set" the NDS side first with locktite where I wanted it, then torqued the DS to spec, followed by a check of the NDS. Is that OK, or do you think I should re-do it?

That's exactly what I did.
Well, not exactly. If you want get crazy, my torque wrench is 3/8 inch drive, so I picked up a 1" socket with 3/8 inch drive, and used the 1" socket to drive my Park Took Campagnolo Bottom Bracket (BB5 or whatever it is) key/nut/tool thing.
