Rust in the engine compartment?

Hi all,
As I work on changing out some parts, I am finding areas that have excessive rusting. Example: the clamps that hold the intake hose on are completely severed from rust (new ones on order). The fuel rails have some rust on one site too and many of the screws are rusted.

The VIN history doesn't show any flood damage and this is the only area there is a problem. I suspect, that it was either driven on salty wet roads during the winter (the original owner was from Vermont), or someone did an engine spray.

Anyone else see this before? I am going to be changing out the exhaust and I bet I'll need new clamps and header bolts. I've got to get under there this weekend.
Chris
