I think Kevin has the right idea with racking up a whole bunch of pumps on the
same motor. If everything pumps into one air tank anyways, you're going to be
restricted to what can go through a single nipple, but there's no reason why you
can't have a constant airflow going into the tank. If vertical space becomes a
concern, you can always run them off a drive-shaft or two so you can lay all of
the pump cylinders flat. Gear allignment would be very critical if you go this
route, since each cylinder would have to be geared separately, but it would mean
that you could place the cylinders anywhere you've got extra space, and having
independant timing on each cylinder means you wouldn't need to completely
redesign the pump structure if you need to add another pump.
