For the purposes of your question, I believe that the compressor would be considered under the electronics/motor-pump thread of the parts use flowchart. Per the flowchart, multiple compressors would not be allowed (ie the second compressor did not come in the kit, and it would be an additional motor/solenoid/pump/actuator, and then lead to the "No, it cannot be used" answer. Since you are on a veteran team, you also know that in the past FIRST has made it pretty clear that you cannot use multiple pumps.

You should post the question to FIRST for the official answer, but I am fairly sure that it will not be allowed.
