There is one on the front right of the engine block that grounds everything attached to the engine (starter etc). and the ecm and fuel pump grounds on one of the studs connecting the engine to the transmission. Those are the only ones that I have removed when doing an engine swap. Having those two on will allow the car to start and run.

Agreed! and make sure they all have good clean connections. I also put a dab of grease in and on the connection as well to try to prevent corrosion. Bad grounds can cause all sorts of strange things to happen.
