(OP)
I'm in the process of designing a bolted aluminum connection. I'm not that familiar with working with aluminum. Is it ok to use the same formulas and priciples of bolted steel connections but use the values for aluminum instead? Or is there a completly different set of equations for aluminum?

Also tension capacity can often be less than compression.

Yes but the reduction factors are greater giving a lower allowable stress than steel.
