I don't think that would be a problem.  Our calculations on the list a
few weeks ago put the flow of the compressor somewhere in the low 20's
cfm at highway speed; the carb on a Scout is gonna be in the
neighborhood of 10-20 times that, or more.  So it's only a fraction of
the filter's capabilities, and I don't think the engine would even
notice the air the compressor takes.
