That’s exactly how I did mine. Remove the tray, drill holes, mount and put it all back in. If you loosen the screws holding the compressor together it allows parts on the compressor to swing around and move to different angles to wiggle it all in there. It was surprisingly easy. And I was all about saving room. I then ran a longer hose and I have the filter for air intake inside the cab of the Jeep. I also use mine to fill the tires and run the rear locker. I’m very happy with it. The tires do not take all that long to get from 15 to about 30.
