Question 737-400 Climb Power Question

Greetings all. My question concerns the procedures for establishing climb power in a 737-400. Assume that on a properly configured aircraft on the runway, throttles are advanced and stabilized, then advanced to 70% and TOGA engaged. V1...rotate...positive climb. Now, exactly what are the next few procedures with regard to MCP settings and the selection of climb power. I am doing research on this topic and can't quite grasp what happens. It is my guess that at around 400', HDG SEL is engaged and spun to the departures vectors so you can follow the FD. I also guess that VNAV is engaged at the same time so that the FMC controls climb power and you get vertical cues from the FD. Is this correct? Even close? Thanks for your time and assistance!
