    Mini-Split Indor Unit Types and Location

    Only when I had a rodent problem in one of the heads. With a single head, I'd need to keep the floor fan going, just to move the air around.

    New concrete pad, thickness with hoist

    The installation manual, which has presumably been reviewed by engineers and lawyers, states exactly what their specs are. I don't understand why you're wanting to make this more complicated than it needs to be.
