You could blast it with a garden hose from behind to clean off all the coolant. It could take awhile for that sticky stuff to burn off. But when you re-wet it, it'll spray and wash right off the radiator and whatever else its on. Spray the entire engine and everything down when its cold, with a hose. Its probably all over everything underneath like the K-Member, pulleys, hoses, and frame.

Easy, shouldn't take more than 30 minutes to do it. All you need is about 3 feet of 3/8" heater hose and a place to mount it. Mine is mounted on the right side in front of my condensor. Buit I have no fan on mine, its really not necassary for just a street car.
If you want me to take pics of how mines mounted, let me know. Two bolts and that hose is all you need.
