subject says all, I was given an old air compressor minus the compressor

McMaster-Carr sells schraeder valve to NPT fittings for cheap, but don't
I need some kind of pop off valve to make this legit? Also will a
standard radiator petcock suffice as a drain valve or do I need
something more substantial? I guess my lack of finding the pop off
valve on a quick web search (maybe I'm not using the right keywords?) is
keeping me from hacking this together.

I'd not sweat it -- the old Air Force surplus air bubble doesn't have
either and it's been (and continues to be) fine for 50 years and counting...
