I left the AC compressor in its metal shell and just add oil before using it. This is the lazy way, and no doubt it will burn out at some point but for my occasional use it's been fine so far. The best thing to do of course would be to rig up an oiling system. A friend has an AC pump made from an old refrigerated water fountain that's like this, it circulates oil as it runs.
There are plenty of tutorials on youtube about making vacuum pumps from old compressors of various types.
