How's our set-up?

There is no difference whether you place the components separately connected with tubing or if you put them all together with fittings. As people have mentioned already, make sure you set up the vent valve to release all air to the atmosphere and I would recommend using less tanks since you have only one piston. The air compressor will take longer to fill them and use more energy. As soon as the pressure drops below about 90-100 psi it will run until it gets to about 110-120 psi and with that many tanks could take a while. My team is currently using two smaller pistons (about the size of the one you are using and one smaller yet) and we really only need 20 of the black Clippard tanks.

I also have all of our high pressure components (switch, valve, gauge, and regulator) connected with brass T's but that is just my preference since I like everything together. I put the relief valve right on the compressor with another brass T. It is up to you where you want to put it and how it gets connected.

Make sure you fix that vent plug valve.

I assume you meant two tanks. I didn't consider the overheating by long run times due to excessive tanks to be an issue, but I'll probably only use two tanks from now on. As for the plug valve, as I thought I had indicated in my previous post, I had already done that and the picture was not up-to-date, but it was the most recent one and close enough.
