I fly the 757/767 and yes it is pretty much the same. Crab in and in the flare squeeze off the crab with a bit of rudder. Maybe use a bit of into wind aileron but need to be very very careful due to the engine pod clearance. The other option that I have seen a lot it to just land it with the crab on since the gear is stressed to handle some pretty serious crab angles. That's what autoland will do as it uses up to a max of 2 degrees bank only. The aircraft straightens out on its own, but due to the length of the aircraft, the poor punters at the rear get bashed around a lot on those kinds of landings.
