Default Ground strap locations on 81?

Would someone tell me where the ground straps should be located on an 81? I couldn't find it in the archive. Thanks for your time.

There should be
One to the right side valve cover on the rear outer bolt
One at the right side motor mount to the block
One under the car on the drivers side beneath the rear seat area to the frame
One to a starter mount or bell housing bolt on the passenger side ,,,,,,,,, and bunch of other lighting, etc, grounds ,,,,,,,,,,

Let's see what I can remember.....

-battery to frame
-motor mount horn on frame to block
-starter harness to bell housing bolt
-back of passenger side head on engine
-one on alternator
-one from frame to power antenna
-one from body firewall area to frame by body mount behind front tire???
-seems like there is one or two for the front lighting harness, maybe fastened somewhere near the horns?????


That's what comes to mind, but it's been quite a few years already since I did my frame off.

EDIT: just thought of one more on the thermostat housing stud.
