Default Grounds for LS2 in 68 Firebird

I assume this is the usual, even with the LS2 but thought I'd assure myself before finishing up the wiring.....ground straps from block to frame, body to frame, and of course the battery ground to frame......am I missing anything here, could someone that's done the conversion chime in what has worked for them? Any help would be awesome!!!

I ground my car in many places.. but then again, most electrical problem usually start or are Ground related..

Battery Neg = to Frame, Body and Engine (3)

Engine = both side at the Engine mount to the frame (2), back of the head to the Body (1). Same location as the PCM/Harness uses.

Body = to Frame where you ground your Fuel pump and relay.

Just buy the metal grounding strap at your local parts store (Doman).

I know, overkill, but Doesn't hurt to more..
