Cleaning the engine bay

I searched for some good ideas on this but came up pretty empty, whats the best way to approach this on a 1987 thunderbird turbo coupe. On my old alero i could just spray down the bay with engine degreaser and hose it down but i know times changed alot from 87 to 99.  So besides the painstaking tooth brush/degreaser approach :punchballs: ive been doing what else is safe to do.  Everything else on my car is sqeaky clean (even the underbody) except for the bay and its killing me.

I just pressure washed mine, no degreaser or anything.  Pretty much all came clean
