[VAC] Re: roof air
Save the old LeDuex/Hehr vent components and the frame opening that you
have to take out and keep them safe. That way you have preserved what
is nowadays very valuable parts. Some future restorer, or even
yourself someday, will want to remove that rooftop AC. I know they are
popular in the south & Midwest, but no one will agree that they are
things of beauty - or are without their maintenance nightmares.
Also, as Andy noted, have a plastics shop* fabricate a PVC pan to
capture the condensation, and then either run the drain line down the
wall, ideally between the two skin sections to near the floor under
some cabinets. An alternative is to hook an external drain hose up each
stop.

Best of luck,
