Has anyone ever converted the main Nitrogen system to filtered compressed air for
the L-29?

No worries but keep in mind that the dew point of industrial nitrogen is ty
pically about -70C and the dew point of SCUBA air is -45C which sounds ok u
ntil you learn that there's 50 times as much moisture at a -45C dew point t
han at a -70C dew point.
It doesn't take much water to give you pneumatic system problems that will
run you ragged trying to de-bug.
If you want to put compressed air in your L-29=2C make sure it's really dry
... at least as dry as SCUBA air=2C but preferably a dew point -50C or lowe
r. (-52C has half the water that -45C has)

Is there a preferred method to remove the water from the air/compressed air; prior
to the storage tanks?

Nope. Remove the bottles.
If renting bottles, nitro is cheaper than air.
When I was using air, I would have the fire dept or scuba shop fill my bottles.
Easier just to use nitro. I converted all bottles, oxygen and nitro for brakes.
5 bottles. The three O2 bottles have a separate shutoff valve so they are isolated
from the rest of the leaky system. Carry my own reserve.

Is there a possibility of installing an electric air pump with a drying filter
and automatic pressure regulator to maintain a constant air pressure to the storage
without refilling the nitrogen (or compressed air) tank on the ground?

Yes,
I used a dive tank to fill mine. If I lived in the land of the free, I
would remove the N and O tanks and just use a dive tank, refillable cheap and
tested for $30.00
Probably N is better but as a chemist I think that external exposure to O will
occur anyhow, so the difference might not be too great.
I would also want to change the brakes and wheels to Cleveland, but I don't live
in the land of the free!
