If you want to clean. Use stuff in a spray bottle such as simple green, purple power, invisble glass..... etc etc and a towel. That should get the bay pretty good. Also under neath, Brake Cleen and a towel to get oil residue etc etc.

93-94 had the unvented unit, its not 100% sealed and moisture can get in and damaged the unit.

If i recall in 95+ LT1's got a vented opti which uses a line that comes from the manifold that sucks out moisture, it helps but again not 100% cure all.

here is a good link so you can see the difference.

You can wash your engine you just have to be careful. Don't stick the water hose down by the water pump, but you can wash the top of the engine, shock towers and the under side of the engine with no worries.
