Default temporary air piping: will this work?

i don't think i will get my permanent air lines installed this year, but i still need to have some temporary hook ups.

my 2 stage is 175psi. right now, i just have an air hose connected to the tank. i don't need 175psi coming out of my air nozzle. so i was going to put a regulator at the tank to take it to 90psi on the output.

at the blast cabinet, i would use an air hose from that regulator to a moisture/oil separator and another regulator if needed to get the proper pressure there, and then the same thing to my powder gun.

will the regulator at the tank output be ok w/o moisture separation between it and the tank?

when i get the permanent lines in, they would be full pressure, w/ water filter between tank and stations and water/oil separator/regulators at each station, but until then, i need a lower output from the tank for general use.
