Air Compressor question

Quick Question,
I am in the middle of changing the clutch in my 94 se-r. I have it all the up in the air b/c I also need new rear pads, my rear disk is shot and my right rear caliper is frozen. Unlike you beasts that can complete a clutch job in a day, I am sperading mine out over a week or so so I can take my time, keep things organized and not get pissed. My question is, I am using my air tools to tackle this giant task and I want to keep the tank full overnight and not discharge it. So that when I work on it tomorrow all I need to do is plug it in and go. So here is the million dollar question: Is it ok to keep the tank pressure overnight without discharge?? a few nights?? how long would you keep the air in your tank and why?
Thanks,
Bizz

The only bad thing I've heard is that if you never drain it moisture will build up and corrode the inside. I bet that would take a long time though. I've left mine filled for a few days and nothing bad has happened.
