while I can not tell you if this is a good idea or not, from a maintainence point of view on your compressor, I can tell you an easy way to do it. Put what every gas you want moved into an scuba tank, or attach a fill block to any storage bottle. Hook a standard scuba reg to the valve or fill block. Take the mouthpiece off of the second stage. Connect appropriate sized hose from the second to the inlet. Turn on the gas, turn on the compressor and you're off and running. I know for a fact this works, but there are thermal issues that need to be looked at when moving gases less dense or more dense than air.
