LSD has a very wide receptor binding profile, see Table 8 of this paper:

It also does bind to dopamine receptors, which is why it's more stimulating than other psychedelics.
I'm not quite sure if LSD has non-psychedelic effects that are mediated through other mechanisms (such as other serotonin receptors, or maybe the dopaminergic system). From what I seem to remember (from that neurology lecture, mind you (where I was high)), LSD has some cardiovascular effects – basically everything you may experience from a large dose of caffein: rapid heartbeat, sweating, nervousness.
