    It used to be the set was matched or a coil was 1/2 ton larger. 3 ton coil and a 21/2 ton condenser. With the newer Freons, larger linesets and valving not sure how mismatched things can be. I would consider a lower coil BTU to be worse than a lower condenser BTU.

    You really do not want to do that. Get the correct size or one a bit larger.

    One of the reasons you use a larger coil is that it has more surface area not just to cool but also to dehumidify.
