Power washing my engine?

Hey guys,
I need to clean and degrease my inline 6 that has been ignored for a very very very long time. It has built up gunk all over the block and I want to steam jenny my engine to clean it up in perpetration for painting. My question is what all do I need to cover? I'd like to wash and degrease as much as I can since the whole engine and inner fenders have a beautiful film over it all. Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Cover the carb and alternator real good and don't focus the spray on hoses or wires to long and you'll be fine. I like to have an air compressor near so I can blow it dry so water don't lay where it shouldent
