Yes, just do it often. Also a water trap under your regulator.

My shop is plumbed for air with copper tubing. It works just fine.
And has for the last 50 years (Dad did the plumbing when he built)

You might think of building a very small shed / leanto against
the outside wall for the compressor, with a small hole(s) into
the building for the power and air lines.
