can and has been done, i had plans to install an a/c comp from a pre update xj on my early tj. As you said the a/c comp on the early tj is up high on the driver side, the xj one runs down low on the pass side, kinda where yours is. so if you wanted to keep the air con you may be able to do the reverse. But i read a good write up on pirate where the guy blocked of the oil gallery in the a/c comp and filled it with grease, then you dont need to use an inline oiler on the suction side, but i would still put a filter on the discharge side. If your not running it constantly all day every day i dont see any reason why it wouldnt be a great mod. I couple things i have picked up along the way, put a pressure switch in it to cut the clutch out at set pressure as it will just keep pumping until something goes pop. The compressed air on the discharge side will be very hot, so make sure the hoses are up to it. I have also seen them plumbed up so the suction side of the comp draws from the breather in the rocker cover, bit of extra lube and gets rid of unwanted crankcase gases. I was going to plumb mine into the air intake tube for the engine.
