I used a mixture of GUNK & Water with a sponge and a clean rag. It got the thick stuff off and I was also using an air gun to dry the water and get it out of the cracks.
It looks good in the pictures Im still not satisfied. Who wants to help ditch the Emmisions & AC?

not really. well maybe for ur ls1 bay but mine isnt, and thats the whole reason my car wasnt runing and got it so cheap, the guy who owned it got the engine bay steam cleaned (btw were can I have this done?) then a week later he just hosed the bay down and fried the ecm, at that time parked it for years and it got all rusty.... so just be care full when cleanin ur bays

Um, it depends. You can have it taken out, but it really doesnt matter. If its R-12, then yes its dangerious, if its R-134a, then you are good to go.
