Negative terminal on a 1996 lumina

Hello, I'm trying to use a 1996 lumina to jump start another car but of course, with side mounted terminals this has become an insane mission. I have no problem with the positive Aux power terminal, Is there a negative one located somewhere as well?

Tried that already, not even a trickle to the car I'm trying to jump.

Put the clamp on the lift hook coming off the front driver's side of the engine...it's black, you'll have to grate the clamp around and break the paint a bit, but makes a great ground...
