Default Best method for cleaning under intake?

Just took out my LS1 intake and it's a bit dirty under there. What is the best method to cleaning up all the dirt and junk in the valley? I was thinking of pouring some GM Top End Cleaner in there and using a tooth brush and get everything loose and then either wipe it all off or suck it off with a shop vac. I just want to make sure the Top End Cleaner won't damage anything.

i just took my time and used a rag and little bit of water. I also used a small screwdriver to scrape out all the crap in between everything. Then once all the crap is out, just use a shop vac to suck it up.

What he said. I used a little brake cleaner instead of water. Take the shopvac and suck out intake runners too.

Humm. Concentrated simple green sprayed on, let sit, rinse off. And it smells good too!
