Default Wiring Harness Grounds?

I have a question about grounds in the wiring harness that i'm retrofitting in my 73 vega. This was most likely a stupid move but any who. I was trying to get the harness to fit around the intake and in the engine bay a little cleaner and etc.... So i take and start routing the wires the way i want and notice that all the ground go to together. Now i took and cut the ground where they went together, but there is like three or four of these junctions. Does it matter how i reground these? I know a ground is a ground but i would feel better if someone would just verify for me. I can usually find my answer via search, thus no posts really. Any help would be great, thanks. Also the harness is out of a 2000 pu. 5.3

as long as they are good grounds, you can ground them how you like... the car harness are cleaner than the trucks, but many people strip them down....

I've always tried to make things as simple as possible. For the Harness in my MCSS I relocated the grounds to the passengers side Head. It originally was in my F-body so this made it easy to get to them to remove the Harness.

In the S10 they are on the back of the drivers Head..didnt need to move them cause I have access to them.

I'm doing the same thing to a 2001 truck harness. The 2 ground wires for the ignition coils were the first to get snipped and extended.
