Narrative:

Overshot departure radial (260 degree off poggi VOR at san) due to both pilots visually searching for TCASII targets with no altitude readouts. Reemphasize the need for 1 crew member to be monitoring instruments while the other is outside. Also, in a situation like this use the autoplt to reduce workload.
