It would probably work OK if you used bronze vibration isolators at each end of the lines, and refrigeration-quality tubing. The isolators are used in commercial systems to connect the compressor to the refrigerant lines and prevent work-hardening of the tubing. But after you add up all the costs you might be better off going with hoses and approved fittings.
