My suggestion would be to just pull the front clip off. Of course that is what I do when I remove the engine as well since it makes it easier to get to everything.
But if you removed the front clip, you could get to the engine with a pressure washer and clean it, and probably paint it right there fastened to the truck. Maybe not a show quality paint job, but a decent one at least if you are careful.
You could clean the inside of the fenders and such while they are off the truck as well and could paint them at that time.
