One of the potential problems with the K&N is over oiling fouling the MAF. If the MAF were coated with oil it would let more air pass than what it reports and would result in a lean condition. Try clearing the codes and disconnecting the MAF. Drive for a while w/o the MAF and see if the only code you get is for the inop MAF or if it still runs lean w/o it.
Other ideas are all fuel delivery related. Bad injector, low fuel pressure, low fuel flow rate, etc.

Last year on my '96 I was getting sporadic lean conditions and also an inefficient catalyst code - installing new O2 sensors fixed it. I bought Denso's from RockAuto - half the price of the AC Delco and they worked fine. You might also want to check your fuel injectors - ohm test them (see the sticky at the top of the page).
*edit* - checking the MAF is a good idea as mentioned above - probably worth picking up a can of MAF cleaner.
