Yeah about 20 cans of brake cleaner and about 3 rolls of shop rags. It took me 4 days to totally clean my whole intake manifold. I would clean it as best as I could one day, then spray about a whole can of brake cleaner in the intake manifold and let it sit overnight, then go to work on it again the next day. Or you could bring it to a machine shop and have them clean it.

A dremel with the pencil grinder extention and many flapper wheels. You can do the inside and out of it. Just don't shave past the inner grooves. When you take it apart you'll see the grooves. Just make it all nice and smooth on the inside and sand the outside as well. Hand sanding the outside goes a long long way.

And actually the supras' AC unit is quite easy to remove. It's all basically out in the open except for the wires to the condensor and if you plan to not use it again you can cut the problem areas with a dremel.

I used a mineral bath wash on my intake manifold and a steel brush then I finishd it off with the brake cleaner

Figured it was cheaper since the mineral wash circulates and helps losen all the build up in the manifold
And the brake cleaner to clean up any residue left from the bath
Took me about a half an hour
(With a 10 minute cig break lol)

I spent countless hours on mine. Either way will get it done. You may try some castrol super clean but be advised it's strong stuff.
