You're ready to go.
Alternatively, park the bike with the rear wheel fixed to a rack. Use a chain tool to break the chain, then remove the crank arms and install them on the left side of the bike. Then, reattach the chain to the other cog. (Just be sure you have a lockring attached to your freewheel and the freewheel is designed to work opposite of all other freewheels).
