"non-functioning AC unit taking up what would be a cool rear overhead
cabinet"

I got my hands on a door and hardware for that cabinet and removed the AC
stuff. Love the storage there now and looks stock. I also pulled the fridge
but put the door back in place. Lots of storage there too. We always have a
cooler or two with us and never used the fridge for more than storage
anyway.
