Default s10 v8 swap running issue

I have a 1999 s10 Blazer that I did a v8 swap last year in it when the 4.3 finally give up. I got a crate motor for a 1998 k1500 and had the computer reprogrammed for the 1998 k1500. The wire harness was sent out to be modified so I just had to plug it back in. After getting the engine running I have been having some running issues. With the stock mass air flow sensor for the 4.3 it would run good, but would throw codes for the bank 1 and 2 running too rich. When I switched the mass air flow to the stock 5.7 sensor it seemed to lose power and still had codes pop up but for banks 1 and 2 running lean. I got an aftermarket mass air flow sensor from Jet Performance to see if it would make a difference as well as getting a programmer from hypertech. It still is throwing the code for the rich/lean condition. Looking at the fuel trims at speed both banks are sitting at nearly -30% fuel trim with the aftermarket MAF. I placed oxygen sensor extension on it as I heard sometimes by switching to headers it can throw off the o2 sensor calibration. The sensor extensions helped a little mainly when I put back on the 4.3 MAF (had fuel trim move to -20% for both banks) but it still has a pending code. If anyone has had any kind of issues like this doing the swap and came across a solution I would be very thankful.
