I used Simple Green and Castrol degreaser, followed by a rinse with water. Hot water really helps to loosen the grease and grime. While I had the engine/tranny out, I also replaced the heater hoses and clamps and cleaned and lubed the heater cables and levers, they were dirty and corroded. Replace all of you vacuum and fuel lines as well as clamps and you'll avoid leaks and possible disaster. Now would be a great time to replace the rear shocks, soundproofing pad and motor mounts if yours are shot like mine were...
