Got my EJ 207 Take a look!!!!
O.K heres my new motor i got from grupp-s. On the pics there are a few pieces circled out, One is the oil line that is a bit different than the stock motor
"too short" the other ones are extra pipe for some reason could someone please give me heads up to what and why they are there?

dunno why the oil line is short, i accidently snapped mine during my swap and had to utilize the one on my ej205.
As far as the other circled goes, its another channel for your crankcase, and you guessed it..they both go to the same place...I didnt have my JDM breather hoses either so i figured routing them the same way as the US car would not hurt.
congrats on your v7! you're gonna have many miles of enjoyment

Well, here goes:
In the first pic those are the heater/coolant pipes that attach to the heater core behind your firewall. If you look at any USDM NA motor, they are in the same position. You can either try to rig the hoses to work or swap the coolant passage (cast piece on top of motor) for your stock USDM one. How about the coolant outlet, where your upper radiator hose connects, is it at an angle vs. straight like the USDM? If not, then OK, some come this way.
Your second pic, the oil line is short because motors with AVCS have a coupler right there. Whoever removed the turbo disconnected it there instead of at the turbo, you need to either get that piece or order it from Subaru, just reference it for a USDM STi, it's the same.
As for the two breathers, the right/front is the normal valve cover breather, just like the USDM one. The left/back one ties both valve covers (left & right) together with the crankcase. They are seperate from the normal breathers and should remain that way. The hose that goes to the left/back one is there in your picture, so connect that then just use your stock USDM hose for the right/front one. Problem solved
Hope this helps,
