I see, thank you for the clarification. While section A could work as energy efficient improvement section B does seem to fit your situation better. You will need to answer all of the questions in the section. Instructions for Form 5695 Part II section B states:
To figure the credit, enter the amounts you paid for these items on the appropriate lines of Form 5695, Part II. The amount allocable to you is the smaller of:

The credit limit for each property is as follows.
$1,200 for insulation or air sealing material system.
$250 for one exterior door and $500 for all exterior doors.

Energystar states: The central air conditioner also needs a blower motor – which is usually part of the furnace – to blow the cool air through the duct system. The only way to ensure that your new air conditioner performs at its rated efficiency is to replace your heating system at the same time.
The gas furnace alone has a limit of 30% or $600. Furnaces (Natural Gas, Oil) Tax Credits
