Yes, and it'll be specified in the installation manual.

An "ideal" height would probalby be a few inches lower than the MINIMUM ALLOWED by code and the manufacturer. Check the manual for your microwave. It probably says something like 14" above the stove top.

14 inches!???!!?
Do you realize how low that is?
IMO 18" or higher.
If the question is can you mount a micro/hood where a standard hood was? IMO, NO. It puts the micro WAY too low.
I have seen this and IMO it is quite unsafe.
The upper cabinets for range hoods are 15"-18" tall. The uppers for micro/hoods are typically 12".

micro oven
The installation manual will give the MINIMUM distance above the range, and that MUST be followed even if the "convenient" height is less than that.
