How to clean ls6 intake???

What's the best way to clean an ls6 intake? The intake is off the motor and I noticed inside is full of oil and gunk? Can I remove throttle body an injectors and dip in varsol?

Strip the intake completely and scrub it out in the slop sink with a scrub brush (s) and degreaser.

Sounds like the time my landlady pulled a snap inspection and caught me bathing the internals of my T-10 4-speed in the bathtub.
