I'm surprised you even got 20 psi out of it.  Sanden and York A/C comps are the only ones to my knowledge that can be turned into air compressors.  The S-10 comes with neither.

Most likely a Sanden.  I visit the Mazda boards every so often and I recall that the B's had Sandens.

don't mean to ask a dumb question but how do you regulate these ac compressor pumps to keep them from pumping when the tank is full? can the pressure switch flip the compresser on and off like the AC?

You connect the clutch wire of the compressor to a pressure switch just like you would connect a pressure switch to a relay for electric compressors.  When the pressure switch is open, or not on, the clutch has no power, and thus the compressor doesn't pump (similar to turning on and off your a/c).
