Hi,
I'm trying to hunt down a formula to convert air in grams per second, to standard cubic centimetres per minute. By standard I'm referring to the standard-temperature-pressure.
I was able to find some info on converting SCFM to pounds per hour. Any input would be appreciated.

What you have to know for the conversion is the volume of one gram of air at STP! You will then be able to convert the VOLUME of one gram of air to cubic feet!

At STP, a mole of any ideal gas will have a volume of 22.414 l
SCF conditions are not quite STP, but that's an easy adjustment, if know which SCF you are using
The gasses composing air are http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_composition
grams divided by 454 will give you pounds
minutes divided by 360 will give you seconds
-
so air in grams/sec divided by 454 and 360 will give you the air in pounds per hour
- as has been pointed out you have to be sure that all the assumptions on temperature, water vapor and pressure are met.
