Dry Air? I was thinking of using some spare parts off my bird to get my compressor some nice dry air. Would I use the dehydrator or the condensor, or something else? Not exactly sure what all this stuff does.

You'll need essentially a whole A/C system, run your air around the evaporator the same as a car does. You'll have to make a pressure tight box to hold the evap. This is all a commercially made air dryer is made of, unless it's one of the models that has replaceable dessicant in it.
When it's all said and done, you'll probably have more money into it than you would have in a store bought unit.
What you might try is one of the downstream filters the compressor companies sell. They usually have a provision in them to remove SOME moisture.
