Here is the "in use" AC. Kind of a cheezy '70's look with the fluffy opening cover, but I'll get used to it as it is blowing out cold air, I guess....
.....and cut the cord off to be just the right length - had to open up the unit and cut off about 2ft of the pigtail, putting on new crimp ends.
I ran a dedicated AC socket to right near the AC cord outlet.
I used a kayak "bungee button" (http://kayakfishinggear.com/bungeebutton.aspx) at each corner of the window frame.
Lisa made the sock to have the exact rectangular opening of the AC unit on one end,, and the measured outer window frame on the outer edge. I used thin aluminum strips and VERY short sheet metal screws to fasten the "sock" to the AC unit. The outer edge has 1/4" bungee cord in a hem and one of those squeeze cinch thingies. There is two fabric layers with some insulating foam in between them to help (marginally) prevent air-to-air exchange.

The first thing I did was epoxy some "feet" on the bottom of the AC. There are "hooks" cut into the feet to sit on the window frame. These are glued down with 5200.
