hahahaha awesome, nice job John  to clean the firewall, use some sort of degreaser like 409, simple green, puple stuff, ect...then wipe clean. Buy a few rolls of paper towels and maybe a scruby sponge  glad to see you got the motor out now buy a clutch for the 3s motor /5s tranny. Also, since the motor is out change your front sway bar bushings, it will be very easy now and the are $6 each, and maybe your fuel filter too.

If you want to cut serious grease from the engine bay before the swap, pick up a big stack of cheap shop towels at the auto parts store and go to town with stuff like Gunk (comes in a white can and works amazing) Simple Green like Dustin mentioned, or just a can of brake cleaner. It all works great.
Good luck with the swap, I should be buying my own clip very soon.

Hosed it all down. got most of the old paint off. gunna have to scuff up everthing for the new paint anyways.
