I've seen the AC unit both under the aft dinette seat and in the wine cellar. Yes, you will need extensive ducting to make it work. You might consider selling the whole thing and slapping an RV unit on the cabin or salon roof.

"There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs -- partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs." Booker T. Washington

Sparky :
Several of us have added AC to our boats. You'll find lots of threads on this subject.
I added a 16,500 btu cruisair unit in the wine cellar of my 32 sedan and ran 3 ducts.
A 6" duct up through the floor into the teak cabinet next to the setee. (hot air rises so this area needs the most AC)
A 4" duct runs from the cellar out through the port wall and under the catwalk forward to the small closet and into the v berth.
A 3" duct runs from the cellar through the forward wall and behind the galley counter and fridge to the head.
I installed the water pump under the galley floor near the through hull for the head. I "T"d off that 3/4" hose.
Your system sounds like you could install the compressor in the cellar and the evaporators in the closet and in the small teak cabinet and run the tubes between them.
