the connections on my LG units are on the lower right back as you face
the front of the condenser, and the indoor units have them on the lower
right back as well

Thanks, Scott, this is great information! I guess what I was attempting to
determine as far as connections is where exactly the line set connects - at the
exit point of the wall unit? Do the lines go into the unit at all?
I’m asking because I want to be able to determine exactly how long of a line
set I’ll need without ending up short, if that makes sense.
In other words, if I was measuring for the line set, would I measure from where
the wall unit meets the wall or do the lines go into the cabinet a distance,
and if so, how far?
I have the flexibility to use either side for connecting the line set and
running it through the wall, that won’t matter.
I hope I’m making sense here…

The outdoor unit sucks in air from the back and blows it out the front. I
mounted mine to the wall thinking that would keep the coils cleaner (grass
clippings, splashed mud, etc) and less susceptible to damage (like hit by a
mower). The commercial pads are plastic now but it's easy enough to cast one
in place if you go that way.
My Pioneer indoor unit was set up for lines to exit the right (seen from
inside) side and that's how I did mine. Instructions say you can use the other
side, but I didn't try that. The condensate drain and routing is important to
get right. You don't want water to collect anywhere (more so here where it
freezes). I enclosed the exposed outside wires in flexible conduit. I'll look
to see if I have any useful photos.

Yeah, I’m not sure if I’ll do a concrete pad or hang on the wall. If it’s on a
pad it
has to be strapped down for hizzicane code. A lot will have ot do with the
length of the line sets that are available.

Note too the outdoor unit needs to sit off the wall a bit for proper
circulation. The brackets I got for mine for some reason unclear are a bit short
so the unit overhangs a bit. Not an issue really just kinda odd.

Cutting and flaring is not that big a deal but use a tubing cutter (not a hack
saw) and a decent flare tool (not a bargain bin tool). If you hire a pro he'll
have
the right tools and it only takes a few minutes. Do bend the lines slowly and
carefully so they don't kink. The outside unit doesn't vibrate much but it will
vibrate so route lines in a way they can absorb vibration.

Maybe instead of looping it you can just move the outside unit down the
wall a few feet to take up the extra length?

On thing I wondered about: If I get a pre-made line set that’s
slightly longer than what I need, does it matter if I just looped
it to take up the slack rather than have to cut and flare?
It shouldn't, although some possibility of oil trapping in the loop
might be there. Many units have a 15' minimum on line length, it
might pay to download and read the install manual before you order the
lineset.
