How do you isolate an outlet containing an air conditioner so that the AC won't black out the building?

Isolation is not your issue here!
If the overcurrent protection (breakers, fuses) are sized correctly, and the buildings wiring is sound, the A/C would not normally cause any other problem other than to trip its own breaker or fuse.
If an A/C unit is causing the buildings main breaker to trip, you need to have the electrical system for the building diagnosed and repaired.
IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOB
SAFELY AND COMPETENTLY
REFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS. If you do this work yourself, always turn off the power at the breaker box/fuse panel BEFORE you attempt to do any work AND always use a meter or voltage indicator
to insure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

Why would a window air conditioner short out after you replaced an old electrical outlet with an up to date one and made sure it was connected correctly?
It could be the air conditioner went out simply at that time and it has nothing to do with the outlet. My guess is, however, that something went wrong in the wiring process and you need to find a competent electrician to check it for you.

Assuming the wiring to the outlet has 2 loads and one neutral, isolate one load from the outlet and use the neutral as the common. be sure to ground from the receptacle to your conduit or ground lead. You should also replace the corresponding breaker with a 120 volt single breaker.
