Re: is it a creative idea or a dumb ?
.
In what way would you connect it to the compressor?
Are you talking about it being the evaporator?
All you have made is a coil with a fan blowing air over it,
it will work as an evaporator, but it won't provide much cooling.
Where I come from we call that an Heath Robinson contraption.
Use a proper AC evaporator and do it right.

I'd suggest a bigger drip tray if you intend to use the swing function...
Health and safety first..........unless I'm in a hurry.

Re: is it a creative idea or a dumb ?
Slightly concerned about the PVC hose jubilee clipped to the copper! Are you intending to use these as refrigerant lines? Or you have a heat exchanger and pumping water to your indoor? Either way, this is completely insane!! Don't do it! Stop now! Swallow your pride and put all that back in the shed!

Re: is it a creative idea or a dumb ?
Creative idea, but it is necessary to modify
Eslirabotat will be on the cold water, then you can leave.
If you will be working on *****, you have to add throttle, the compressor and condenser. Realize all line on the copper pipe.
In both cases, to improve performance on the pipe must add finning and differently build the, to not interfere the flow of air, but maximally blew over.
