I live in San Diego. House is 1600 sqft. My furnace is a 23 year old
Day&Nite 80,000 BTU unit. It uses a 3 ton split system air conditioner, also
23 years old.

The A/c sees very little use and is working fine. The furnace is getting
cranky and I would like to replace it.

Is it necessary or advisable to replace the a/c compressor and coil when I
replace the furnace?

Is there any cogent need to replace even the coil? After all, there is no
wear/tear on the coil. Can I just replace the pan under the coil when I
replace the furnace?

I realize that a new A/c compressor and coil would be more efficient but we
only use the a/c during an occasional hot spell, maybe 10 days a year.

By what you say --- I would change the furnace out and let it go. You only have
one thing to change the A/C out for and that is failure and lost of A/C during
the hot times. now with only 10 days or so as your failure time is cut way down.
