Dan,
Here is the "Official" list.
Front to back:
Two outboard on the front outriggers (they have nuts on the bottom, heads
inside the body)
Two inboard on the front outriggers. Heads are visible on the firewall side.
Two on each side of the rear outriggers (total of 4) Heads inside the car in
front of the seats.
Two on the raised deck behind the seats (you might have to remove some
insulating gunk to get to them)
Two on the high part below the fuel tank bulkhead.
That makes 12. However, on some models, the inside seatbelt anchors go into
the frame and must be removed. Also, the dash support
bolts through the body into the frame, so it has to be removed. You will also
need to remove the radius rods and ant rear exhaust
hangers.
I think that about covers it.
