Can a outdoor light fxture be powered from an air conditioning disconnect box? It is straight A/C no heat.

First, what type of A/C unit is it?

You know, window or whole house

Is it a 120/240 unit?

The short answer is "No". A/C units are typically installed on dedicated circuits.

Assuming a 240V A/C, no. There is no neutral at the disconnect box.
