There are different extremes on how to do it. A buddy of mine has a factory setup on a Ford (I believe an A6 style compressor...does not have an internal oil system like a York). You have two lines on the compressor, one is intake and one is outlet (compressed air). On his intake line he just stuck on a simple filter with a T that he takes the cap off and puts a few drops of oil down it when he uses it. On the outlet side he just plumbed in a pop-off valve and a typical quick release connector to hook up an air hose. To turn it on and off by the clutch pulley he just has aligator clips he hooks to the battery. This all very crude and minimal....but that's his style. The system actually works very good and has been in use for many years to fill tires and run air tools.
