Relocate outside aircon unit on Stanhope

Our outside unit needs to be moved in the next few weeks as we are having our deck area completely renovated. It is currently sitting on concrete tiles beside our house on our deck. The options are to move it to the (flat) roof to sit beside the other outside unit we have or to move it to the right by about 3 meters. Our preferred option is to move it to the roof. The inside aircon is installed in a lounge with a high ceiling and is actually closer to the roof where the other outside unit is. We initially didn't want to install the lounge outside unit on the roof as it was visible from the driveway, however when we installed the other aircon the only option for the outside unit was on the roof. To move it to the flat roof it will require a little internal ducting (I assume we can reuse what we have) and then an exit hole through the wall as well as the physical moving of the unit. We have metal roof tiles and the roof is flat. To move it to the left by 3m we will require some extra outside ducting as well as the physical moving of the unit. The unit is Mitsubishi and was originally installed in 2016.
