Why degrease an engine that isn't greasy? As a note, those degreasers are powerful, so be careful not to get them into parts with bearings (ie. the alternator pully, A/C compressor pully)...
I just use low pressure water every time I wash the car and my cars stay nice and clean under the hood. Yes, I'm careful where I spray.
I would only clean under the hood by this method if I were tring to sell the car. Your pictures look great!
