haha thanks guys. the dirty pic is the only one i could find ATM which was just after i got the car. it had gotten dirtier then that. and within those 6 months or so some things managed to change 
as for what i used to clean it. it was simple green. heard alot of great things on this forum and ive been wanting to clean it for awhile. i sprayed it on. let it sit and then whipped it off with afew rags. i couldnt believe the difference after i was done. i made my friend do the same to his 94' mustang. stuff is great!

Looks good! spray everything down with a good coat of WD40, works well to drive out remaining water and shines everthing up nice too! down side is that it will collect dirt over time but has helped to keep my truck and the wifes car looking brand new like it did the day i bought them by protecting all the exposed metal from salt and moisture. also keep the squeeks down too! haha
Anyone have any pics or a how to on hiding engine bay wiring (besides the "wire mod" & Fuel Lines). Any tips would be much appreciated
.BTW I did a search and this was the best thread I can find on the Subject
^^I just combined the Wires on the Connectors to one Connector on the Wheel Well and tightened them all up. I moved the Fuse Box, and got rid of the ABS System, as well as the AC System. Some things you won't be able to move/get rid of.
Here is a pic, you can kinda see some of it, the only thing different now is the Battery is in the back, and a Coolant Overflow Resivoir is in it's spot, and the Tranny Dip-Stick is gone..
This is with the Coolant Resivior, and necessary Power Cables..
It's not perfectly clean, but it's all the essential stuff pretty neatly organized, and all the non-essential stuff removed. These last couple of pics were taken with the Transmission out, and some of the other stuff removed(PCM, Harness, Coils) for Storage.

^^ merv thats real nice. i want to move the battery to the back where the spare tire is considering i cant even use it now with C5 brakes XD. thats a nice place to put the water overflow tank too. good ideas!
lol agreed. i dont care for the setup on my car that much. a stupid dipstick for the coolant that you cant read to well. not the best idea GM ever came up with. ill probably get an aftermarket one and see how ill piece it together
