Default big 3 bolt locations?

im wanting to get this done on sunday but i want to make sure i know where all my spots are first...

1) Battery negative to chassis
batt is obvious, and i see where it bolts to the chassis

2) Alternator to battery positive
again, batt is obvious, and the alt point is on top of the alt, under the gray plastic cover, correct?

3) Chassis to engine
could not find this one/dont really know what to look for, where would i find these 2 bolts, have a pic or diagram?

im using a optima red top d34/75 with knu 1/0 wire

engine to chassis... follow the 1/0 wire (silver) from the front left on the valve cover back along the intake manifold to the bolt underneith the intake. from there it connects with another wire that connects chassis-> battery neg.

and yeah the extra wire is for the stereo

just make sure that you sand off all the stuff on the points you use and get to bare shiny metal.
