I work on small units in coolers, freezer ect. I am installing a Klimaire mini split heat pump in the inlaws house. The condesner ia about 9 ft from the indoor unit. The lines are about 15 ft in length. Can I leave a coil(s) in the lines to make the length to the condenser fit. I dont feel like postioning the condenser further away. Any info would be appreciated.

Yes you can, but you also could cut lines to measure and make new flared joint (I suppose that you have all necessary tools and knowledge).

Yes I could do that. I have the tools and knowledge. That would require that I reduce the refrigerant charge, correct? Being a blend, I would prefer not to do that.

No, you don't need to reduce charge. It has been charged for lengths between 0-5m.
It has accumulator inside for variations of refrigerant charge and protection of compressor from liquid refrigerant.
