OK, thanks all...
As I said in my original post, I am going to measure, and measure hooked up. I thought the given height on the sales brochure would be the highest point on the roof.

After removing the vent and installing the a/c is the 9 3/4 a good number. Just trying to make sure that what the specs for any of the a/c's are close, not advertising a 10 inch height and after installing it, it is 12...
