I think (not 100% sure on this though) there are 2 ground points because the Engine doesn't attach to the metal frame anywhere. So one end of the cable grounds the engine for the various electrical components in the engine, and the other end that connects to the chassis provides the grounds for the rest of the car.

You would probably be fine to ground the chassis end of the cable anywhere else on the frame. Just make sure you scrape a bit of paint away.

You might also be able to get away with running a wire from the frame to where the engine block gets it's ground from.

Good luck.
