tough question and I think you will get a lot of answers.
2 pumps, cost more, but have redundancy, sort of.
A tank is not needed, not even sure if it's helps at all.
If I had my choice it would be 1 pump, 4 valves. It's simple and proven and MicroLevels supported design. It's what every lowrider out there does.
it would also be simple to hot wire if you did loose your MicroLevel, all you need to do is ground the solenoid wire for what you want to do, up/down, left, right.
Using the EL I/II should be doable with 2 relays and diodes though

Subject: [GMCnet] Microlevel for the EL11 systems (1978)
Wanted to start a separate thread for the EL11 people thinking of going with the microlevel controller.
I happen to think it's a great system(for whatever that's worth), and am planning to get one.
But with my EL11 system with 2 separate air compressors and no air storage tank, that a upgrade on the pumps would make sense. After all they are 40
years old, and the solenoids leak. And I don't want to spend the money to rebuild them. I have been trying to figure out the best air source for the
Microlevel and only 2 come to mind.
The 1st, and possibly the easiest, would to get a single Viair 150 psi pump with a stainless air storage tank. Tried and true.......
The second option would be to get 2 Viair 150 psi pumps without using a storage tank. Sorta like the EL11 system but newer and no solenoids.
I happen to like the 150psi pumps because if they decide to go nuclear on their own the bags should handle it.
Any additions, suggestions, opinions?
Scott.
