From the description, this system just applies air pressure to the reservoir. the air doesn't actually enter the system.

What I would be afraid of is the chance of blowing the reservoir or the lines to the master cylinder. they weren't designed to take pressure, and 30-year-old plastic isn't known for its resiliance!
