Can BX/AC be run through EMT?

Renting a space where there is a drop ceiling that we will be removing I'd like to organize the bx/ac that will be seen once the ceiling is removed. The AC has a grounding wire that wraps around the sheath so I'm wondering - to keep things simple and not have to re run wiring - if the ac can be run through EMT at the lengths that it is already at? Let me know. Thanks!
 
Not sure how your going to get EMT around a refrigeration line set and low voltage control wires without disconnecting the refrigerant lines.
You want to look for something you can install without having to disconnect everything.

BX/AC is a light weight armored cable.

I don't believe the OP is dealing with a refrigeration line set from an AC unit.
