Grow Closet ventilation and set Up Questions?

Hello! I moved this from "grow room design and setup" since i'm a newbie. I'm in the process of building a 5x8 closet in my storage room15x8. My goal is to keep it a storage room but the back part will be my grow room. Just finished hanging drywall and installing the door. I'm so pumped about it because I'm not what you call a carpenter! I plan on building another short wall to partition off the veg area as well. So far i have a 400cfm 6" Active Air fan with a carbon scrubber, a 600w HPS with an 6" air cooled hood and CFL's for the veg area (T5 fixtures hopefully coming soon).
I plan to use a window AC in the storage room and pull that cool air into the grow room through a passive intake in the veg area. I will then pull all hot air through my scrubber, 600w hps, around a short bend and then down 10 feet of the smooth sheet metal air ducting to the outside. Will the fan that i have be enough for the scrubber and that extra ten feet of ducting? I went ahead and attached a floor plan I drew up. Let me know what you think? Thanks!

Help, I'm new to this, doing a lot of research but still can't find the answer to this one. Any info or suggestion will be greatly appreciated!

Watch your temps. That is a big light in a small room. I am also setting up a 4'x5' flower closet and I decided not to vent the 1000w light. Instead I am removing the warm air via the filter duct and decided to place an a/c duct from a portable going directly into the chamber. That way i can have a little more control over the temp. just my 2 cents
