Help me set up a 335 copy

I just purchased a 335 copy. It's been set up, but the action is slightly higher than I like. Since I dealt with Tele's and Strat's sofar, I confess I never had to deal with tun-o-matics etc.

What have I got to do? screw down the bridge by using a screwdriver on the two big screw heads?

I also think I'll have to re-correct the intonation: have I got to lower the bridge pick up to get the little 6 screws, right?

Its based on the string's hight in relation to the fretboard. The pickups are then measured in relation to the strings(you probably knew this!)

OK, great: 3/32" + 2/32" for both bridge and neck... I'll try. At the moment the bridge PUP is way closer (and louder) respect to his neck twin.

Thanks for helping, an intense tweakin' week end is waiting for me eh eh eh
