Back in the early 1980s, my brother added an on-board air system to his
`67 CJ-5: He used a cast-off automotive AC compressor and, if I recall
correctly, a small pressure tank from a truck salvage yard. A dash switch
energized the compressor clutch when he wanted pressure and a safety valve
on the tank kept the system from exploding. It seems like a lo-buck
solution that never gets mentioned here.

That's because everyone know it, and most of us would like
to keep our AC working. There is only so much room under
the hood of a SWB Jeep, esp when you go throwing V8s in
there, like many do. V8 or fake air compressor? Which
would you choose?
