When Mike's Mom's air died, her Trane system was 7 years old. Repairs were expensive and did not carry a long guarantee period. A new system seemed to be the better way to go.
Maybe the difficulty in getting necessary parts are because those parts aren't made at this point? I hope thing progress very quickly. Hopefully some of your neighbors will offer their guest room so you can at least get a comfortable night's sleep.

Trane at one time was a major company in the AC business. I am told Munns dropped Trane because of the poor quality. This seems to be another one of those businesses that start cutting corners and using poor quality materials. This always works in reverse when you try to increase profits by lowering the quality. It does disturb me that since Munns installed thousands of the Trane AC's in the Villages, they should keep ample replacment parts. Trane compressors seem to break down more than one would expect.
