If you went slowly with simple green and didn't use much water, you should be fine.....
If you go with the suds, water flushing etc etc, you should wrap/cover all electrical connections..... which would be hard to do.....
If it were me, I'd go slowly with a bottle of simple green and get what I could.
It would take me longer to do, but would be a lot safer that way...

Thanks for the advice. I plan on using simple green and wet cloth to remove the dirt. I dont feel comfortable hosing down my engine bay.
