Not the most comfortable but at least a safe temperature, and better than canceling the flight by a long shot.
No APU really isn't that big of a deal. Obviously a little more work, but it is still possible to run flights safely unless the temperature outside is over 100 F.
You need to crack open the books again. 70% N1 on the ground is *not cool* outside of the runup pad or something. Seriously, you’re going to damage something eventually and management
will throw you under the bus for trying to make them happy. I have seen photos of a steel baggage cart flipped on its side from people doing similar stuff in a -200.
