The other thing that strikes me in those videos is how it almost seems like you're hitting a rev limiter at 5800RPMs. Are you sure the tach is accurate?
As for those hoses with cracks in them they all need to be replaced. Don't even bother smoke testing or any other air leak testing till you replace them. Any crack in those oil breather hoses is bad.

My thought exactly. He mentions and it shows 5600 and hesitation. Also agree that the hoses should go.
I can't hear the hesitation in your video clips but are you feeling the car stutter a little? It seems too balanced that it's popping at the same RPM. It's almost like someone moved the rev limiter back in the rpm range by about 600 rpm.
Are you hearing any popping in the exhaust? Normally if you're lean you'll also hear a "lean pop".
On the idle switch, you should be able to hear the switch click when you open the throttle.
