If you are storing vacumn in the receiver wont that screw up your regulator???

Oh... that's called the Plug Valve... It's the 3-way bronze one with the black knob, right? It was never required to be in the line. It's more of a "convenience" thing. It's good for letting the air out easily. I highly recommend you put it on if you are pressurizing your pneumatics. More of a safety issue....
If you're planning on using the cylinder to generate a vaccum... then you don't need the regulator or the plug valve (because it'll never be hooked up to the compressed air loop)... the regulator is to limit the pressure to 60PSI.
