Eric,
Most of us have removed the bus air in favor of the roof air or central air placed in a bay. The bus air is extremely expensive to repair. I like the roof air as they are easy to replace when needed (I have had mine for 15 years and not had to replace them yet) . As I was told once, when a roof air goes bad, you simply pull the bus up to a dumpster and unload the a/c. The only downsides I can see are the higher coach clearance and the fact that roof airs are noisier inside the coach. Ducting is a means of cutting the noise somewhat. I find the noise a minimal problem.
