Sure Dave , If you post the numbers on VS DC "not having a payback " as
you said before, or as you now say " a long time" . My numbers are 5-6
yrs. And If you quit cutting down everything but Goodman.

Your fist problem is why is it that narrow? Is it on the property line?
There are usually local codes covering where you can place the unit. How
well ventilated is the area? Do you have windows on that side. Remember
that noise is going to be louder on both sides due to the restricted space.

Thanks for all the comments. Looks like I will have to put the units in
another location. With that in mind, can the coolant lines be run for
about 60' without excessive losses?

How big of a condenser? 60' is a pretty long run. I try to keep 1.5
ton units under 35'.

I didn't see the whole thread.. but have you looked at a thru wall
unit? Another option would be chilled water (its pricey.. but has a lot
of advantages). You could locate the chilled water unit anywhere. Even
on the roof.

Nope, not unless the manufacturer has allowances for this...your installer
will be able to tell you.
We NEVER run a line more than 50 feet, and that includes any allowances
added into the lineset for oil traps or such.
