I'm guessing the answer is no, but can the exhaust on the vacuum pump be tapped into for on board air?

Not enuff pump to do any good as a compressor even if you could do it

LOL. You could always go to a wrecker and get the air pump off a mid-70's cadillac, fab yourself up some new brackets, run a combined pulley and belt, and then run some lines to a holding tank with a pressure-regulated dump valve...

Or go to Walmart and buy one of those $16 electric ones that plug into the cig lighter.

The question you gotta answer is, what intrigues you, really? The convenience of Walmart, or the challenge of doing it yourself?

Your call.
