I got it figured  out. Just a couple of dumb mistakes I was making in the almanac. f was about 94° and I wasn't reading back up to the value thinking it stopped at 90°, at an f greater than 90° z2 becomes negative accounting for the azimuth problems. Once I realized that it all fell into place.

By the way I was using this site to check my work.

I used to be a normal person, then I discovered how to locate myself on this planet using a star.
