Stay away from the plug wires and the distributor. Other then that you will be fine. If you do happen to get them wet, the car will run roughly and hesitate until the water dries, you can expedite the drying by removing the distributor cap and drying with a towel, and pulling out the plugs and wires and doing the same.

If you'd like to save baggies for ur mama's sammiches at lunch time, I'd prefer just using plastic bags from ur local grocery store. Then rubber band them up where neccesary. You can also cover em up with towels. With the towels if you spray over them it'll still be str8t. The towels absorb the water! :)

By the way what kind of degreaser are you using?
I found the Gumout "STEAM" to work best with a toilet bowl scrubber thingy from the dollar store, haha.
