While my engine was out I hand polished all the engine bay, but it really needs painting...
With engine in the way ya cant clean everywhere
But once its clean all it needs is a wipe down and it stays clean

You can do a reasonable job with the engine in situ, but it aint a one night job!! Your better off doing a bit at a time and planning to take several evenings (weeks) over it. Take each bit off and clean properly, its only once doing
But as the other guys have said, it is easier with no engine in there to get in the way.
