That sounds simplest.  I don't know what current requirements the PWM to the 
compressor needs,
you may need to put a transistor amplifier on the output of the PWM generator.  
The beauty of the
555 is that it's dirt-simple, cheap, easy to use, and runs directly off 12V.  
No regulator, no programming,
no problem.
