does this come with instructions as to where to place in the setup? thank you.

It can be placed on the fixture connected to the window kit or directly onto the intake port on the back of the unit. Our Consumer Support Team is available Monday - Friday 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM PST at 1-866-WHYNTER (1-866-949-6837) and at support@whynter.com should you have additional questions.

Can this attach to the intake without attaching a hose?

This filter can be connected to the back of the intake port of the ARC-12S, ARC-12SD, ARC-12SDH, ARC-14S, ARC-14SH, ARC-143MX and ARC-141BG models.

Is this needed if you have a window screen?

not needed if you have the two hoses exitinging inside the screen or if you have the window screen resting ontop of the hose mounting bracket.In other words,you only need that to prevent insects and bees and any other critters from entering the 2 hoses for the air conditioner,the "intake hose" and the "exhaust" hoses.Thats all

Will your ac fire snakes at you without this? sean m model’s review says this is necessary to keep snakes out.

Most customers have a window screen that keeps pests out. The filter can also help keep pests out along with keeping dust and debris from entering the unit.
