I would suggest a plugin I just bought by a Swedish company, Klevgrand called Brusfri (literally hum free). It’s surprisingly straight forward to use with impressive results.
What it does is to learn by analysing a part of the recording with just your unwanted breathing or room noise. Then Abra-cadabra...it’s gone! Additional fine tuning is of course possible to avoid shaving too much off transients.
I’ve never tried anything as easy to apply with such impressive results before. Maybe it’ll work for you.

I’ve also read advice from sound guys that suggests that many guitarist overthink their recording of acoustic guitars by thinking more mics and advanced stereo placement are better. Suggesting a more modest approach with mono recording avoiding such problems. On the other hand breathing and such have a certain human element that many people might find intriguing. Take a listen to some of the famous groaning Jazz pianist out there..
