A/C compressors can only be used to compress gas in a closed loop system, if liquid is used it will hydrolock and will destroy the pump day one. As far as air goes, they require a continuious lubrication, again closed loop system.
That said, I wouuld suggest a real pully driven air or hydro pump, NorthernTool has them at a low price.
Note: An air pump would be a easier/better setup in this fashion.
feel free to ask if you have any questions.
