How did Brother Lee treat the OT? He opened it up thoroughly. As ZNP observed verse by verse.
But you mean Psalms... well, I took your advice and thumbed through the RcV and on almost every page in the book of Psalms there are footnotes. Psalm 1:1 is really comprehensive and takes up two pages in fine print all by itself. Quite a treatise for those who care about the Psalms.
Now, granted these footnotes in Psalms are not extensive as you would find Brother Lee wrote in Ephesians, Hebrews, Matthew, Revelation, Romans, because frankly, there is much more concerning the dispensation we now live in those NT books than in the Psalms. The revelation of the church, the Body and Bride of Christ was not revealed in the Old Testament so clearly so of course more time is spent studying God's NT economy. In retrospect, we can see now in the OT what was a mystery to the OT readers and Brother Lee has drilled down on the Pentateuch and other OT books extensively to connect the dots to the NT economy.
Even the book of James has over 150 footnotes. Quite a labor for someone whom you accuse of wanting to shrink it out of existence. Au contraire.. James has its place and Brother Lee labored on that too. You may disagree with how he positioned it but it is disingenuous to claim he tried to get rid of it.
