Air Compressor toggle switch

So I was thinking about setting up a switch to kick on my air ride compressor while still using a pressure switch. Kind of a bypass on/off to the pressure switch. Currently my compressor only kicks on at 165psi and shuts off at 200psi.

My thoughts is to wire this into a single speed wiper switch for a 1964-1966 C10, since it's just a open and closed circuit type switch. Plus no one would ever know as it would look completely stock.

My questions are the following:

Would the switch above be able to handle that kind of current?

Any way to wire this up to where the pressure switch will still turn off the compressor once it's at pressure to avoid adding to much air to the tank?

Just a brainstorm, so feel free to educate me.
