Replaced the oil pump last year and ever since it seems like it doesn't have the power when accelerated. When in idle it revs up and down and when accelerated the RPMs jumps up and it seems like there's a delay in the gears changing.

Yep, these problems are related, when the timing chain was replaced the camshaft timing must be off this is why the engine doesn't not have power and low vacuum which affects the transmission shift points. Here are the marks so you can disassemble the engine to check it, sorry.
