Default Air - Coil - Air Pump

So I am looking to exchange out my air bags for coils. Got my coils in and seeing that it's not all that easy to do this procedure. I had a thought about keeping my compressor and converting it to a air pump... to pump tires and all. An onboard system. Anything thoughts or pictures of someone doing this?

It won't work, the pump will not handle the necessary voluum or pressure.

it would probably work for something like bike tire, but why you can buy one for that for 9.99 at HF. I'm sure you could sell you stock compressor on ebay for more than that. tell you what take all that sls stuff that you don't need and more box it up and send it to me and I
I'LL send you a compressor for you bike tires

Also - when you remove the air bags, the computer still thinks they need to be "plumped up" during the time the vehicle is off. Disconnect the compressor, and you still have a power drain from time to time, enough to kill a battery. Turns out to be the electric valves, and an easy way to disable them is remove the common ground that appears under the hood on the same bolt stud with the fuel pump ground.
