The A/C system uses a reticulated oil system and the compressor pumps a small portion of the oil thru the system as it runs. The compressor can be used but the air will be oily and oil will need to be added at regular intervals. The best bet is a dedicated air compressor.

use the compressor and plum it into an air tank, run your air intake from the air cleaner and after a couple of uses dribble a bit of oil down the intake and works fine(had mine for 2 years and all good and i only use straight ac hose with no tank)plumn an arb pressure switch into the hose to turn the compressor on and off, the compressor is capable of 700 psi otherwise HAVE FUN MAKIN THE BRACKETS
