You know, I should sometimes double check my calcs.
I double counted the air. (seemed kinda heavy)
You have:
22lbs of tank
3lbs of regs/manifold
=============
25lbs of stuff
Then, you add the BC and any wieght from accessories such as a can light/reels etc you might have. Hopefully this is still less than 30-35lbs or so. If it floats, its good.
Finally, you factor in your exposure protection. It should be positive here. Its variable determines if you need to add lead. If it's BC integrated, be sure to recalculate the gear only buoyancy. You want the gear to float without you!
44lbs wing ought to be OK so long as you don't hang a lot of negative stuff on you or need to carry lead wieght. Doubling it should be OK as well so long as you can get 35+lbs of lift out of each wing.
