12 guage. The most current that can be sustained in 12 Ga wire is 20 Amps. Almost all 12 Ga wire sold for home use can handle 600 volts, so your 220 v A/C is covered.

The voltage rating should appear on the jacket of the wire sheath.

Have 30 amp double pole need 15 amp 120v?

Remove the 30 amp double pole breaker and install at least one single pole 15 amp breaker. It is best if the other slot is not left open so if you have another single pole breaker of any size install it in the 2nd spot so it isn't open when you replace the cover on the panel. For your 15 amp circuit you need #14 gauge copper wire or larger with a hot, neutral, and ground. Your 30 amp circuit was probably wired with #10 gauge conductors. These will probably work on your 15 amp circuit but it may be difficult to connect #10 conductors to devices.
