How do I get rid of this message: “Check air compressor” on a 2001 Ford Expedition, if I eliminated the air bags on the rear suspension

Have you tried disabling the air ride suspension system?

never done it on an Expedition but there should be 2 connectors on the air ride module behind the right kick panel I believe. Unplugging one of those should kill the message.

Check out American Air Suspension. I believe the info may be on there and I do not have any vested interest in that site at all.
