What is the problem that you are facing due to the installation of AC unit in his property?
If the installation is obstructing your easement rights then you can take suitable steps to get relief through court of law.
Hence you may discuss the issue with a local advocate and confirm if your rights have been invaded by your neighbor and whether you are entitled for any relief, you can proceed legally if recommended.
You have not stated the actual problem you face due to installation of the outdoor AC unit by your neighbor.
However you may even issue a legal notice to your neighbor to change the location of the AC unit for the harm and inconveniences caused due to this.

Firstly, if the unit is causing any health hazards, you need to lodge compliant. Normally, when an outdoor unit of AC is installed within his premises by the user and if it is not disturbing privacy of the neighbour, it cannot be forcefully changed.

Only thing is you can request him to shift the unit, for the sake of your parents.
Further reply,
You can only request him on humanitarian grounds by saying that your parents who are senior citizens, and due to the unit they are suffering etc.,

- Your parent is having right to live in the society peacefully without any interruption from any one , and the said installation of the AC is against the rule and detrimental for her heath.
- Lodge a complaint before the police after stating the facts in details and give one copy before panchayat as well.
- If, no response, then file a Mandatory injunction suit before the court for removing the AC from there permanently.
- Or you can send a notice before filing the said case.
- Cost depend upon the lawyer you engaged, however this case will be finished on 2 or 3 hearing , hence talk any lawyer locally.
