one side is suction and one side is pressure. If you are not sure what type of A/C compressor you have (some have an internal oil pump) you can use a K&N valve cover breather, because it's oil impregnated, on the suction side to supply the little bit of oil vapor the compressor needs to stay alive.Normally the R12 or R134 does that. On the pressure side however you want to ,plumb it to the 8 gallon tank, also you want to put inline with the wire to the A/C clutch a pressure switch that senses pressure in the tank so the compressor will disengage after a set pressure is reached. If you want to bypass the A/C controls just wire a 12 volt source through a toggle switch to the A/C compressor through the pressure switch. you should also install a pressure safety valve in the tank as it will relieve pressure above a set limit. The pressure switch and safety valve can be obtained at most hardware stores or from Grainger. The K&N filter can be obtained through most speed shops

The compressor in an air conditioner is not designed as an air compressor, and it might not be anywhere near big enough for what you want, so you might as well forget about it. If you have to get air then just go to a gas station. If you need to fill the tank a lot, you might want to just go out and buy yourself a small air compressor.

Leave the air conditioner alone.

i have a 91 honda accord lx, the engine fan kicks on and off while the car is off?

Yes. I have made "air" compressors out of just about every kind of compressors there are. Refrigerators, cars, water coolers, etc. It can be done. You have to be a decent hand with soldering or brazing. That's about the only requirement.

Car repair question...?

Of course but A/C compressors make over 400 psi and are lubricated with freon and oil. Also automotive climate control compressors do not have cooling fins. Trying to pump air the compressor will over heat and not last long.

Clutch rattles when I press it?

Yes you can convert it, however it is designed to compress a refrigerant, not air. This makes it inefficient as well as slow. Also, you have to remove the refrigerant at a collection site. The amount of money this would cost you would be a lot more than it would to visit your home repair store and buy an air compressor with an eight gallon tank with all the fittings and hoses included.

You'll need some kind of oiler system, as the air alone won't lubricate the compressor like refrigerant does.
