Default This Weekend Projects Ideas?

So, I'll be reinstalling my repaired EBCM this weekend. Since I'm going to be under the hood I figured I'd do a couple other things. I ordered the C6 KN filter and the Vararam bridge... both of those should arrive by the weekend. I'll clean out the TB and the MAF while I'm there.

Questions...
Cleaning the TB: leave it on the intake or take it off? I know there are those in both camps... what's your preference? Any issues with just cloth and TB cleaner or should I use something specific?

Cleaning the MAF: In the past (not this car), I've just sprayed electronics cleaner in there. I assume that's not an issue here, but thought I'd bounce it off you all and see what you think.

Any other things I should be doing while I'm in there? I don't really want to go order more parts at the moment... unless it's something quick and cheap and available locally (West Coast Corvettes is local...).

TIA....
