Can bad camber cause the car to pull left?

Would the car pull left if the camber is out or is it only the toe that would be responsible? I carried the car for alignment but did not do a camber adjustment after lowering. Now the car pulls slightly left and the guy that did the alignment said that it is because I didn't adjust the camber.

The car will tend to pull to the side that has less negative camber.

crap...what are my options for cambering? The guy told me something about slotting the holes in the shocks but that didn't go over too well with me and that is why I didn't have the camber done. I know this would not be at all accurate but I measured the distance between the left and right front wheels in the front and back and I got a difference of 1.5cm(toe out). Since the it was a computerized alignment I'm supposing the toe was adjusted properly. Does our car have zero toe or is there a toe out?
