thanks you are really helpful

you need to plumb an inline oiler on the suction side and an oil separator on the discharge side to remove the oil you put in. That way the compressor doesn't burn up (in an A/C system, the freon holds the lubricant in suspension, this is how the compressor is lubed). The rest is pretty much the same as a York install - pressure switch, relief valve, etc.

Very cool, I have a 85 22re thats turning into a rock crawler and this would be a great mod for the truck. I too have the stock A/C compressor, this might sound like a dumb question but what side is the intake side? A picture would be a great help for me(I'm a visual learner).

The cheap way is to put an air filter on the inlet, and simply squirt some oil into the intake before you go 4wheeling. ATF works fine, as does any air-tool oil, or air-compressor oil. 1/2 teaspoon is more than enough to run the compressor for 1/2 hour, which will fill a dozen tires.

I manually oil mine. Works fine.

I use the VIAIR 85/110psi switch to control my compressor, and have a 2gal tank plumbed in, with a proper petcock for draining the tank after each use. A 150psi blow-off (safety) valve is on the tank, as well as the inlet/outlet fittings.

As long as your air chuck is after the tank, the tank will collect all the oil that goes thru the compressor. Which isn't much. A bit of oil mist comes out when I purge the tank after each use. Not a big deal.

Plumbing the air tank can be done with fuel piping and flare fittings, or you can do it with DOT plastic hose and push-fittings. Mine is heavy duty with 5/8 aluminum fuel pipe & AN fittings.

If your air chuck isn't in a clean spot, you can use plastic covers for hydraulic fittings to keep the dirt off. But it's best to put the fitting in a spot that doesn't get too dirty, and is convenient. One day I'll plumb a second air chuck on the other side of the truck. haha.
