The key is to remove more air than you take in. First thing I'd do would be to put the A/C outside the tent, then up your inline fan and matching filter game. The goal for me personally is to exchange the air in the grow space once per minute. For example, if your tent is 8'X8'X4' then you have 256 cf of volume in your tent and would need at least a 256 cfm fan/filter combo, but due to drag from your filter and ducting, I try to shoot for 25% more or in your case a fan cable of moving 325 cfm. If you remove the heat from the tent faster than its produced while keeping the outside air coming in nice a comfy, while venting the hot air outside, then you will be golden.
