An air-conditioning outdoor unit needs to have a free flow of air on both sides of the unit (where the grilles are that the air flows through) in order to operate efficiently. The air needs to be freely moving and cannot be a still pocket of air such as within a solid structure. The unit also needs to be accessible for maintenance and repairs.
Check with the manufacturer of the the unit as to how much room is recommended for access to the unit, and how much space is required for airflow.
Remember the unit will need replacing at some point.
If your deck construction will allow for these factors there should be no problem with building over the unit.

Yes it can be over-charged................
Ice build-up on an air conditioner can be caused by a few reasons, such as low refrigerant levels, restricted airflow, or dirty coils. When the refrigerant level is low, the coils can get too cold and freeze the moisture in the air. Restricted airflow or dirty coils can also cause the coils to get too cold and freeze. Regular maintenance and cleaning can help prevent ice build-up on your air conditioner.

One way would be to remove the window panel from the enclosure and build a frame to fit the air conditioner tightly into the hole.
When you build a deck that is on ground level, you need to build up the ground with dirt so that it has a space for water to drain.
