Oh my, that's kind of a neat install. Looks like it would be hard to do afterwards. What about taking the cover off your a/c unit and see if you can flex the panel down enough to push a metal fish tape over toward the corner and see how far it goes? Maybe take that duct opening down too and see if you can get to that and then further toward the corner? The other (and maybe bigger) problem might be hanging the tv from the ceiling? I recently mounted a 32" l.e.d tv on the wall in my bedroom. The original tv was a small tube mounted in a corner cabinet. I was lucky to have the medicine cabinet on the other side of the wall. I used long bolts and put a flat steel panel inside the back wall of the medicine cabinet. Nylock nuts so I didn't have to tighten them a ton and they won't loosen up. I was lucky having the original location right next to it so just ran the cord and antenna wires across the back of the cabinet and through the side to behind the new tv. Might you be able to mount the tv bracket to the wall like I did and then hopefully you can fish the power over from the a/c unit? I think the a/c circuit should not have a problem powering the tv too. Don't know if it would cause rf interference?
