Service of AC/machinery does not fall under the category of manpower supply. For definition of manpower supply: /forum/analysis-of-reverse-charge-mechanism-for-manpower-supply-services-or-security-services-328869.asp
In your case, it is just service of machinery etc without involvement of goods. Hence no reverse charge is applicable for the service recipient. However, service provider is required to levy ST if no exemption is applicable.
