Could work, I think.  A lot of (most?) newer A/C units run with the fan
slinging water through the condenser, both to get rid of the water and to
improve efficiency.  Might want to bear that in mind.

For the vent, I bet you could go through the bottom instead of the
side.  Unfortunately I don't remember details, but I had to rebuild that
area of mine (on the sliding-door side) and the duct went right to the
bottom (because they're using the structural pillar for the duct.
