I want to use a mini split for mobil use but the condenser unit is too tall for my application so I'd like to swap in a condenser coil / heat exchanger that's shorter in height (12-13 inches max). I found a few condenser heat exchangers made for large trucks that might fit the bill but these heat exchangers run R-134 instead of R410. Do you guys see any issues with doing this swap? Does the heat exchanger's "tube" size/shape matter between the two refrigerants? By "tube" I mean the individual lines that runs from one side of the heat exchanger to the other -- and has air turbulators/fins in between. Here is one example of a truck heat exchanger I'm looking at, it's for a Western Star truck: https://imgur.com/a/V5V6Odm

mini-splits are well engineered, very sensitive and the components must all match - it's not a realistic option.
