No, Air conditioning actually makes the car's engine work harder causing to heat up more. To get a demonstration of the process, put your hand over the top of your outside air conditioner when it is running. Air conditioning is a heat movement. It's moving heat from inside your car to the outside. This heat is removed right in front of the radiator, so your csr runs hotter.

Can you hose off an engine to cool it off without damaging the engine?

I wouldn't. You may crack something such as the exhaust manifolds. Better to let it cool down on it's own. Also, it is usually best to let the engine run to cool itself down. If it's not running the coolant can't circulate and the fan may not function. Unless there is no coolant, then you're s.o.l. and might wanna pray a little.
