Easy and pointless. The standard system if it's leak free rises in seconds after being left for 2 weeks.
Your mods will affect the response times as you say and in practice may cause additional problems as the solenoid valves will not be able to handle it, it may even confuse the ECU.
For sure it could affect your insurance if you were to be involved in an accident.

And get very snotty if you point out a time waster who has been on other forums and ignored advice.
Was that the lad who despite having changed chains and sprockets and eventually got them in the correct place. Could not achieve 0.9 mm lift on cam for static at TDC even with pump pressed hard against the engine? He had pretty obviously dropped the spacer between roller plate and piston into the bottom of the pump when doing the head seal. But he just would not listen.

No, it was another one, can't remember the details. RR.Net sent me an official warning, so I told them to feck off and un-subscribed.Was that the lad who despite having changed chains and sprockets and eventually got them in the correct place.

My air conditioning compressor was siezed, broken, so I used a compressor I had from a previous vehicle. Anyone else could just use the stock compressor I think, It will work as an air pump.
That depends on the internals of the compressor, some are not fully reciprocating and need pressure to return the pistons. They also need lubricant in the pressure side to prevent the pistons from seizing.

It's not the broken one you need to be checking it's the one you propose to use. Unless of course they are the same make and model.

Wammers the images below are copied & pasted in from another forum. The Sanden compressor I'm using has been used as an engine driven compressor by others and the mods needed were documented online and easy to follow,

Got the compressor with a refrigerated box truck, it was used to keep it cool overnight.
The in / out ports
Difficulty level: easy
I took guidance from this page -

made a grub screw with my angle grinder, works fine.
Plate
taking bolt pattern from original aircon bracket
Plate steel looks good everywhere.
The V groove pulley came from an earlier Beemer

Lot of work when you can get an EAS compressor for not a lot of money new or refurb a used one for £20.00. Your car is the same colour as mine pity it has the wrong engine in.
See post #88. But tinker away it's your car.
