    AC compressor-O2 Compressor?

    I heard about this once and I want to know how to make a Compressor out of my A/C compressor. If this is possible what kind of psi's could this dish out. How hard would it be to do, and could I simply use my ac on/off switch to toggle on and off the compressor? Thanks :)
