If you had an inspection done prior to your purchase I would be going back to whoever did the strata inspection and ask why they did not advise you of this unapproved alteration to the common property attached to your lot.
If your strata inspector asked the question and was told there were none then the SM would be at fault and I would refuse to do anything for the time being on that basis alone.
If your strata inspector didn't ask the question I would want to know why.
The other thing to consider is that the AC unit is now part of the common property even if not approved by the Owners. As such there are various processes applicable to CP changes which are contained within the Act.
