    It depends...
    Is it an ARI rated match? If so, yes. If not, no.

    No one should recommend a combination that can not be verified as an ARI match.

    Why?
    It is not really supported by the manufacturer.

    Waste of money to do it. You won't get the efficiency your paying for from the condenser.
    Possible you could get less then 13SEER.

    You can't really make a broad statement that it won't work. It depends on the manufacturer. You need to check the ARI. A lot of times the coils will be the same for a 13 or 14 SEER.

    Actually, the ID coil doesn't have a SEER rating.

    Haven't seen him posting much, so I thought I'd stand in for him on this one.
