I'd suggest you tell the AC guys what the plumber said, and ask
them to do it that way. The laundry tub is usually higher than
the sump crock, and it's usually easier to run the drain to a
sump crock, down hill all the way.

I'm also in the Rochester NY area. Please let us know who put in
the AC, and if you were pleased with them.
