Hey riu I was wondering if it makes any sense to try my idea or would it be counter productive? Anyways I have a standard window AC of 6000 BTU, and a portable 14k BTU anyways that costs a hefty amount so I was wondering if I made a box behind the 6k and started my venting fans there could I then run through my lights and out room taking care of the heat I have 2 450 cfm fans and one 350cfm

I used to go to school for HVAC... You need a difference in temperature between the condenser and the evaporator within the A/C unit or else it will not work efficiently and eventually burn out... I think I remember that correctly.
Basically, the idea won't work, or it won't work well... Sorry to $hit in your cornflakes.

He's asking if he can vent the heat from the ac and his lights all together. Which yes he could if he did build a box on the back. You would have to run a big exhaust though and also rig a drip bucket up for the water that will collect

Also might not work if you pull to hard might suck the cool air out as well out the back of it. But not sure if thats possible
