Message 1st pic is the turbo oil feed line, it's in the wrong orientation and should be connecting to the fitting in pic 2. The fitting in pic 2 appears to be in the (approximately) correct position: it should point directly towards the back of the motor.

PCV caps: Should be fine, but I've seen those particular bypass caps dryrot pretty quickly so it might be worth spending the extra money to replace them with plugs. At the very least, I would put hose clamps on them. Info on deleting the PCV system here, though I'm unsure what thread pitch/size plugs to use to replace the PCV valves. In any case, remember that the PCV valve fitting is tapered, and overtightening them will crack the plenum!

Last two pictures: The hose connected is the turbo coolant feed line, but it's mounted incorrectly. This pipe should go behind the turbo and hug the head, and should use a rubber hose to connect to the heater core pipe on the passenger's side head. If you undo the banjo bolt, you should be able to snake it through (I can't remember if it's easier from the back or not).

The other line (which points to the front of the engine) is the coolant return line. You can U a rubber hose back towards the back of the engine and connect it to the heater core pipe on the driver's side of the engine. Alternatively, I've heard of people gently bending this pipe to point up or towards the back of the motor to eliminate the need for a long U-turning rubber hose. In a stock setup, it connects to a short rubber hose mounted to the underside of the plenum.

And the diagram at the bottom of this page on courtesyparts may help you in correctly orienting your hardlines on the turbos:
