If you google on "emergency air conditioning" or "industrial portable a/c" or similar you should find leads to manufacturers that can solve the a/c part of the problem.
Once came very close to having to rent one in the middle of winter to cool multiple large computers until we got approval to open a window.
(The window of course was not -designed- to be opened...)

Appropriate generators should be easier to find or power can be from ground sources.
Thanks and yes - if all else fails, a lightish ACU may be runnable from a locally procured GPU. Not the perfect solution, but possibly the most available.
