Welcome to team geezer. I have no advice for you about Olympic lifting, watching snatches and clean and jerks fly up always seemed like one of the dark arts to me. As in how do they DO that? Picking up and tossing 75 lb. hay bales as a young 'un was as close as I ever got to it. There is one guy on the board in the Intermediate Training Logs, fiftyfit who has had some Olympic lifting experience. I hope he doesn't mind me dropping his name on this. You will find the old guys here (and the younger ones too) are glad to help when needed. Good luck with your lifting.
