Re: AC Placement
Window unit or though-wall unit? Makes a difference.

Windows are only about 1/8" thick, walls are about 10" thick.

Installing a window unit in a wall will block half or more of the vents, which looks like was done there.

Clearance? To ground? No, it should not rest on, nor be partially buried in, the ground. I've never seen a window or through-wall unit (or even a regular condenser unit) rated for 'direct burial'.
