Default Replacing ac compressor with air compressor?

Have a 96 Cherokee straight 6 4.0 ( love this motor!) I want to replace my ac compressor/clutch assembly and put a actual air compressor in it's spot and mount a tank to run on board air..is that doable? Or should I just get a electric compressor and tank..I'm building a buggy due to my Cherokee body rotting away from rust..

Any input will be appreciated
Thank you

And if anyone is interested about the build here is what it's gonna be..

86 Cherokee 4door body stretched 4"
4.0l straight six
Chevy k-5 blazer axles
5:13s
Lockers front and rear
37x13.50x15 Goodyear mtrs Kevlar
15x10 beadlocks
Tom woody driveshafts
Narrowed front and rear
Custom cage
Custom rock sliders
Custom front and rear bumpers
And alot more I'm not to sure about yet

You could do what I just got done doing and convert the a/c to a compressor I followed this http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f11/c...p-pics-471962/

Yor welcome and welcome to cherokee forum. If you do this mod I really think you will be happy it is really surprising as to how much air it puts out for being a A/C pump!
