I have a couple of new-to-me old computers. They've been well used in
what looks like a normal office environment and they're a bit grimey
inside; not just dust that blows away.  I figure that I should clean
that off so the dust doesn't act like a thermal insulator but I'm unsure
what to use, since air alone isn't doing it.  I don't want to remove
e.g. the CPU from its socket. (P-133, socket 7).

As another take on the issue, there's also such a thing as leaving
well enough alone.

A definite +1 on this for me.

A P-133 just doesn't generate that much heat....
Clean the fans and the heat sink and leave it alone.
