I believe the FOM gives you an out in that type situation. Unless its been removed, pax boarding is not allowed if the cabin temp exceeds a certain value(85F I think??). I don't think anyone could argue it is safe to confine people in a metal tube for any period of time at those temperatures. Something tells me they would've found a working AC cart pretty darn quickly if you told them you weren't boarding without one.
