Happens to the best of us. No, seriously. Had the guys from Portland up here, put on that same LP, forgot to push 45. If Fremer says he never did this, he is lying. We all have.
Quite honestly then your "setup" consists in making sure it is perfectly level. That's it! 

You might want to get a stylus force gauge, just to check and be sure that didn't shift in moving it. I would assume the previous owner set that along with VTA and everything else when mounting the cartridge. Most guys get close on VTA and call it good. You being new, that is definitely what you will do.

Everything else beyond this and the sky is the limit. You can get help with the rack, the shelf, you can put it on a Townshend Platform. You can put it on a sand box. You can build a whole separate room for it. You can tweak it with PHT, ECT, fO.Q tape, on and on. There literally is no end to it. 

But as far as "setup" goes, don't make it harder than it has to be. It is level, you are done. Enjoy!
That's a nice table. Is the cartridge mounted? Or is that the help you're looking for?
