Here's a jpg of what the deck looks like:

Some of the owners just cut a big rectangular hole and covered it with
chicken wire, but eventually they will be forced to replace their covers
because they look terrible and did it without permission.

I think your idea will work with a couple of caveats. The opening area
must be at least as large as the discharge area of the AC unit. There
must also be en equal or greater amount of inlet space for makeup air.

You may also want o put a baffle under the deck to channel the air to
the vent opening and not have hot air blowing up from the bottom while
sitting on the deck.
