    Regardless of your outlet, how many amps is your AC. Point being if you put say a 20 amp AC on a 40 amp line and if the AC has an issue it will burn up before the break trips. So replace the breaker for whatever amp your AC needs.

    As far as the new outlet and if it’s a 20 amp outlet you would just use the two hots and the ground. Just cap off the neutral.
