All of the above, plus I do one more thing which is go to the dollar store and buy a can of spray disinfectant. I run the unit and spray the can into the air intake. Then when I can no longer stand the smell I spray what's left into the outlet vents after I shut off the AC.
I plan on being gone for a good long time (4 plus hours) after spraying. I do the same thing with the furnace when it get's later in the season.
On edit:
One thing that didn't get mention is to keep an eye on the squirrel cage fan. That thing can get loaded up over the years and give off the dirty sock smell.
