If this is to work (and I think it's iffy at best) you will need to provide
separate ducting for the inlet and exhaust portions of the condenser air
stream.  Also the inlet is usuall through louvers in the sides of the unit,
looks like they may be obstructed by the seat.

It won't work to just take inlet air from the van -- the exhaust stream is
much bigger than the cold-air stream and you'll simply be sucking hot air
into the bus much faster than you can cool it.
