I noticed today that the passenger side valve cover breather is smoking after a good drive. I did add a baffled breather to the second vent next to the master cylinder on driver side. Three breathers in total. Is this too much? What other info is needed to narrow down a solution?

OEM style breather plumbed to carb base plate.
PCV plumbed to the carb base plate.
Oil filler cap on left front, is the way I roll.

I don't see a PCV valve... could be your problem.
How about this set up? breather on passenger side cover, filler cap on front driver side cover, PCV valve on rear driver side cover connected to carb. Forgive my ignorance here since this is all a new learning experience for me but do I have to adjust the carb in anyway if I connect the PCV? Anything else to consider here?
Baffles aren't there to keep it from smoking. What you need is a COMPLETE PCV system. See the diagram below. You need a SEALED breather with a hose nipple for a hose that connects to the air cleaner. The PCV valve needs to be in the opposite valve cover from the breather.

Possibly, but most likely not. Just hook it up and go. If you do have to futz with the idle speed or mixture, it will be very minor.
