OT?: Storing a window air conditioner?

Hi All,
Not completely off topic, but I figured folks here would know, no
luck on this from google :-(.
The AC came out of the window yesterday and the only place to
store it is on the back (fins side), would require a serious
re-arrangement to put it flat.
Is that going to be a problem?
It is not sitting on the fins, but rather the case and on top of
a couple strips of wood to keep it off the floor. Probably
won't be needed until next July or August.
Thanks & take care, Chris.

Not a problem, other than when you place it back in service leave it
in position for a period(minimum of an hour) to allow the oil to drain
down before starting it.
There is a small potential for the oil to collect in the suction line
and you will hydrolock the compressor.
