which ones…engine bay? interior?

Engine bay should be:

negative terminal  
pass side fuse box  
upper tranny case to frame rail  
valve cover to rad support  
subharness to T-stat housing  
…accessory grounds behind the winshield washer tank and on the pass side near the ABS unit I think…

OK, the headlight section of the harness grounds almost right behind the headlights themselves…it’s a multi-ground. One is behind the washer bottle, the other is across the engine bay in roughly the same spot.
