Pretty much anywhere on the engine block, but factory location is right front corner of the block. That is the passenger side of the vehicle. Right and Left are determined by driver setting in vehicle. Left side is drivers side, Rt side is passenger side no matter what direction you are looking at.
The same way you remove the battery in any other vehicle.... disconnect the ground clamp, then the positive clamp. Take the bolt out of the retaining block and lift the battery out.
Depends on the car. An E30 BMW neg battery cable is about 6 inches. The neg battery cable on a Chevy small block about 2 feet.
Yes.
The positive cable goes to the starter. The negative cable bolts to the engine block.
If it is a gas engine, then no. If its not gas then yes.
probably a 350 small block
It should be bolted to the engine block anywhere you can put it. Make sure it is on cast iron.
under the pickup in the center of the engine block
The 350 is the small block, and in 1986 it would be GM corporate blue.

The negative battery cable is grounded to the battery tray and engine, close to the starter on the block. It's not a real great ground system but, its all you need if you can keep the battery tray connection clean.
The negative battery terminal is on the battery. They don't have a wire coming from it like they do the positive. For charging purposes, the engine block acts as the battery ground. When disconnecting the negative at the battery, the negative terminal usually has a black wire and the positive has a red.
