Grow tent dehumidification advice

I would think that the ac unit would naturally work as a dehu too since it pulls water from the air and condensates on the unit and drips outside. I use a 35 pint in my room that is about the same size and it works perfectly during lights off (I use the drain option on mine now since the tray filled up and shut off the dehu within a 12 hr period or less). In the summer, I use just an ac unit in a sealed room no dehu or anything and the ac unit keeps the RH in check. My ac unit is old as hell too.
Well the A.C. is a little old, maybe bump it up a size? This one will keep it cool but the RH gets to high when it's really hot.

I cant see using a dehu and a AC unit both? The heat put off from the dehu would negate the use of the AC. The AC should really be putting a dent in the RH of the room naturally when run. What size BTU is the AC unit?
