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.

I agree with Dave that using a second kit pump would not be allowed.
However, FIRST has said that an off-the-shelf vacuum pump could be used as long as it's powered by a kit motor. Could an off-the-shelf compressor be used if it's powered by a kit motor?
That sounds like a good question to post on the Q&A.
