If the breakers have large enough lugs. You can just daisy chain across from the top of one breaker to the next.
Best bet would be to bring 80 amp #4 power to the disconnect beside the AC compressor. From the bottom of the disconnect into the 40 amp for the compressor. And also from the bottom of the disconnect to the inside 60Amp then daisy chain over to the 30amp.
Good point there earlier about having to use flexable conduit into the compressor. I forgot to mention that. THHN wire is good stuff too.
The #4 to the compressor 1st will assist starting when voltage is a bit low during utility brown-outs. Or if your service is loaded heavy with other loads.
I do like to pound a 10' ground rod in for things like outside pool pumps, AC units etc.
