That link is a great writeup and is what I used when doing mine. I just have a few things to add. I found that the compressor gets quite hot so if you use one of the little air tool oilers like in the writeup you may want to put it further away from the compressor. I also saved money by cutting the existing hoses and using barb fittings and hose clamps to attach them to my oiler and filter. FYI you can buy everything except for the presure switch at a hardware store (although I like the manifold he used better than the ones at the hardware stores).
