I would NOT recommend hooking your pumps in reverse, due to the fact they were never built to work that way. (otherwise there would not need to be a resona to color-code the wires )
They (the copresssors) make the same air pressure when wired backwards, (don't argue), the problem is the cooling fan runs the wrong way and the compressor will overheat early.
