The lubricant in an a/c system circulates with the refrigerant. I think an a/c compressor might pump any lubricating oil out with your application. Plus they are not designed to compress air. And they rely on the circulating refrigerant for cooling.
But I've been wrong before. I am more familiar with household a/c.
