Not sure what era or prototype you may want to model, but here are a couple of prototype photos of current RV style roof mounted AC units applied to EMD SW series switch engines. 

These RV style roof mounted AC parts are available from MAC Rail detail parts, available online or through Midwest Model Railroad store:

MACRail 837 - RV A/C (Sleek - 4 Pack) - HO Scale - Midwest Model Railroad

MACRail 836 - RV A/C (Square - 4 Pack) - HO Scale - Midwest Model Railroad

and also from Wallace Locomotive Works detail parts

Wallace Locomotive Works 047 - Low Profile RV AC - HO Scale - Midwest Model Railroad

Wallace Locomotive Works 204W - RV Style AC units Style 1 White - HO Scale - Midwest Model Railroad

Atlas sells the BLMA RV-style air conditioner. ITEM# BLMA4552
It's listed as "pre-order." In my experience, Atlas has been timely in restocking BLMA parts and cars.

There are many other sorts of locomotive air conditioners on that auction site.
