That's not an issue for a "portable" air/con unit. No need to remove the windows or screens. Also, most splash the condensate into a mist to send out side with the heated exhaust air, so no draining.
This doesn't work with a dehumidifier as there is no exhaust air. It pulls air out of the room, over the condenser and evaporator and then exhausts the now dryer air back into the room.
