Just had a new central AC unit installed. The condenser was installed

lattice sufficient enough for airflow?

Why didn't you ask the installers? I would say it depends on
how close and what kind of lattice. The air needs to get in from
the sides and exit from the top. Anything that impedes that or
that results in the hot air wrapping around and coming back in,
is going to impede that.

Yes.
