Transposing question

I am transposing a tune from an Eb part (in the key of F), written for an Eb saxophone, to a concert part in the bass clef (for upright bass). After struggling with the key signature and settling on Ab for the concert part, it now looks as though I can copy the notes as written onto the bass clef. So. a treble clef C becomes a bass clef E, treble clef B becomes bass clef D and so on. Can anyone confirm this for me?

If right, this means I can play parts the saxophonist brings along by simply changing the clef and key signature, which will be a real boon!
