I would not put that in the report, and I would tell it to them differently too.
Something like:
'I told the buyer that he MIGHT BE getting A central air (less the condensing unit) for free. All he MAY HAVE to do is install a condensing unit, connect the refrigerant piping and controls, charge the refrigerant piping and he is in business. Of course, there is also the chance that there is a leak in the refrigerant line and that it was not worth it to the previous owner to have the leak found and repaired.'
Did you verify there was an air handler / evaporator unit and that it was 'at' the refrigerant lines?
I would hate to see you buying your client a "central air conditioning system" when their HVAC contractor comes out and finds other things missing and tells your client (now their client) 'Your inspector said WHAT?'
