I have a new 50 amp shore power, that will feed this box. He will install a 30 amp circuit breaker that will feed the original Box, and (3) 20 amp circuit breakers( one for AC, 1 for hot water heater and a spare) I just need advice on getting wire to the AC. Thank you in advance

You could run the additional circuit to the 3 way switch if that's more accessible, then add a junction box and splice in the one that goes to the AC. The switch box could become the J box since you won't need the switch any more, although it may not be big enough for 4 Romexes and wire nuts. If they are all 12 AWG you will need 20.25 cubic inches.
You could also pull a new circuit to the microwave leaving the original one for the AC and just splice it together in the switch box leaving only two cables in there allowing for a box of 11.25 cubic inches min. To me this sounds like the best approach. Either of these choices eliminates trying to get wire thru the ceiling.
