I want to install a small wall A/C unit in a bedroom of my condo. The
other side of the wall I will install the unit in is a storage room
with no drywall. The studs are spaced 16" apart and the A/C unit is
17-18" wide. I am handy with saws, etc. I just don't know how to
create the opening without compromising the strength of the wall. Are
there any tutorials or pictures on how this should look? Thanks.

Yuo want the other side to be outside, not on an inside room.

The storage unit is basically a unfinished 4x4 room with concrete
floors with a door to the outside that will be left open.

Don't forget about the water byproduct. Even if you put a bucket
under the unit you will have water splatter - forget to empty the
bucket and you've got a mess.

I plan on running a tube of sorts out of the room.
