If you are going to pull the nose and lift out the engine (which is the best way if you want to do the engine bay) the best way to treat the pillars the drive shafts go through is to remove the front suspension with hubs alltogether. The shafts are completely out of the way then and you can reach all corners from both sides. After cleaning and treating the surfaces fill up at the seams at the underside with filling compound. This way you prevent splash water staying in the seams and entering the engine compartment. Also take a good look at the bottom side of the firewall. Here you can also fill up the open spaces that might allow for water or other fluids creeping under and into the passenger compartment and rusting out all kind of bits there.
