Clean with liberal amounts of Simple Green. Wipe down eveything with lacquer thinner, the follow up with a wipe down of Prep-Sol. Then paint the engine bay with John Deere Blitz Black spraypaint. It's a nice eggshell finish black that lays down really well and is very durable. Plus it's nearly an exact match for the original blackout paint that was use in St Louis.
