Default Engine degreaser???!!!

Thinking about spraying my engine bay off today with this engine degreaser, then it says to wash the stuff off with a garden hose. Now that sounds simple enough but what (on a 92 fox body 5.0) do I need to cover up in the engine bay??? Also, do I start the motor when I'm ready to wash everything off??? Here's the things that I know:

1: Air Filter
2: Distributor Cap
3: Alternator

Someone please post everything, I wanna get her clean but don't want anything to short out on me. Thanks guys!

Use Simple Green...not sure about distributor, maybe cover it just incase (I never did a car with one)...don't bother starting it up...don't bother with alternator...cover air filter if its exposed....just let it air dry for a while

This way I did my cavalier 2 times, my parent's Taurus and my bro's Focus....never any problems

Okay, so I just cover up the distributor cap and airfilter (it's ran off of my MAF) spray this stuff on, let it sit for about 10 minutes, and go out there with a garden hose and rinse it off right? Sounds easy enough, gonna go try it right now.

Alright guys, I just sprayed on the engine degreaser and it's looking good already, I have about 7 more minutes to go before I can rinse it off. Can't wait to see how good this stuff works!
