You can start the install . Prepare the place the outside unit is going to be set / located . Run the A/C power to the outside unit . Scope out where the indoor unit will hang & the hole in the wall to feed the line set through .
Screw the mounting bracket to the wall & maybe cut the hole in the wall ?
Are you running the line set down an outside wall ? I used some white metal down spout gutter to cover the line set .

With a disconnect and liquid tite flex to cover the electrical .

You can gather incidentals , like screws , hand tools , the black sticky " cork " insulation tape ( to cover / insulate the service valves & remainder of the copper lines ) , metric Allen wrenches for the service valves , etc. .
I assume you will be penetrating an exterior wall for the line set to go through ? Is the exterior wall brick ? You will need a core bit and rotary hammer drill .
Otherwise , you will most likely need a hole saw and a drill sufficiently powerful to operate it . Most likely a 1/2" drill .
