If it is tripping a GCFI not a circuit breaker it most likely has a fault to ground somewhere.
Did you make sure the drains were clean on the AC?

As Pontiac said, it's not that it's drawing more current, per se. the GCFI reacts to current in the GROUND wire that shouldn't be there.
The A/C unit's wiring might have a weak short path (e.g. moisture buildup) to the chassis or something like that.
