Unhappy 59 bagged

I'm new to this forum and have some questions for you guys with air bag experience. I put bags on the front of my 59 el camino and I'm looking for the easiest/simplest/cheapest setup for having an on board compressor. I eventually want to put bags in the back, and would like to put a system in that I can use only for the fronts right now but will also be useable for the backs down the road. I'm wondering how strong of a compressor I need for filling my 2600 bags on such a heavy car and I was also wondering if I would need a tank and switches. Can someone please explain the benefit of valves and what they are and where they go please. I've heard that in certain setups air can transfer from one bag to another when you go into turns. I would like to avoid this. If anyone can give this rookie some helpful hints for a cheap, simple setup I would appreciate it. I was also wondering if I could use one of those mark VIII compressors off e-bay instead of paying big bucks for viair or some other new compressor. Thanks, JP
