Best bet would be to remove the housings and get them blast cleaned, only thing you could do with the rest of it is scrub with wire brush / scotchbrite using some degreaser.
Make sure you fit some bungs in the oil feed and oil drain holes.
Once you've got it clean enough rinse it all off with some brake / carb cleaner.
