People think differently. Everything has an expected life. Op says roof and AC are both 20 years old. Both are on borrowed time. Time to find a person to do the work compare what to buy. Pricing.

When, water is pouring into your home due to a hurricane, is not a good time to relax and shop. Same is true for an air conditioner.

As to what to do first, my vote is to do the roof first. Reason they will tear off the old roof a dirty job. Do you want shingles, pieces of shingles, nails,dropped tools etc hitting your new air conditioner? I expect you will have trouble finding good people to do this now. Qualified labor shortage as well as costs up due to inflation.
