Any problem with replacing auto-leveling rear shocks with standard monroe struts? Cost of new shocks and relay switch (compressor is OK) seems prohibitive especially given that I don't pull a boat or trailer and rarely have anything in the trunk

Problem here is the spring rate is different with factory leveling system, the rear will sit to low with std struts.

Like Max said, if you replace just the struts with non-air assist, your car will sag in the rear, like a wet diper on a two year old!
You have several options;
1) Replace the air struts & get a switch assembly from a bone yard.
2) Replace the air struts and install a manual fill kit for $5.00.
3) Replace the struts with non-air assist and the springs from a Lesabre without ALC, from a bone yard.
4) Purchase a new set of springs from the dealer, (bad idea)!
