I proceeded to add hoses with little filter breathers attached at the end, and that got rid of the oil pressure problem, but then I received a code P0171, running lean on bank 1, what do you think I may be doing wrong?

Here are pictures of my current set up
You're pulling in unmetered air through the breathers. Your fresh air intake has to be taken AFTER the maf sensor meters the air. If you take in air from a breather, that's "unmetered" air going directly into the manifold.

breather -> valve cover -> pcv valve -> intake manifold = vacuum leak
