some guys just go straight from the compressor to an air tank and put the high shut off valve set to the pressure they want in there air tank. but the problem with that is that when there is air in there, there is no oil in the compressor, which tends to burn it up.

i just saw you wrote condenser not compressor, if you want to use it as a holding tank i wouldnt recommend it, they pop under high pressure and they dont hold much air at all, just put a small auxiliary air tank,

i dont know if your asking about a condenser or a compressor i dont quite understand exactly how you mean your question, but hopefully those two paragraphs will explain it better for ya

like he said u need an air tank and u need 2 wire the clutch to a switch which is easy but the hard part would be keeping oil in the compressor
