well a 1 hp with a 2" pully may do the trick. Does the system have an unlader valve? assuming no unloader then it may have a harder time getting started. I believe I would start with a 3hp capasitor start motor and if buying would go with a dual voltage. Reason for the 3 is that many 110V circuits cant take the starting loads of a 4hp. Now if you going with a 220 circuit I would go with a 4hp motor and if the compressor is slow then you can keep your eye out for a little larger one. As for the pulley say a 3" with a 1725 motor and if it handles it well move up to a 4" Would try to keep the compressor areund 800 rpm. On your pressure just place an engine compression gauge on the discharge of the compressor(one of the push in rubber stopper type will work well) and check what it is capable of and set the upper limit asy 10 psi lower.you may want to do this before getting too invloved but will have to have way to spin it over.
