Is this a good website for pulleys?

https://www.grainger.com/category/v-belt-pulleys/sheaves-and-pulleys/power-transmission/ecatalog/N-hxd

How do I go about doing this? As in finding the correct pulley style and size?

Also what do you mean by running capacity? The CFM it can output?
I would like for the compressor to put out a high enough static pressure so I can get the correct working PSI of 90. I'm aware working PSI is dependent on hose length and how much static PSI you have available.

My fear is that even with the correct pulley set up, the compressor won't be able to get to the correct static pressure OR it will takes eons to do so. Should I be concerned about such a thing?

What would you do in this situation?

Don't forget to grease the screw and threads on the spring compressor.
