Using the vent fan helps considerably. The way the outside vent cover is designed, it blocks the metal flap from opening very much. I had to modify my vent cover a little so the metal flap will open more to allow much more air flow. There is a topic on this if you do a search. I also reccomend using the convection oven (once you check the vent cover) for baking cookies or anything else in warm weather. It really helps keep the heat outside.
For what it's worth, try to avoid running to fantastic fans when running the A/C unit. They will draw in a lot of warm outside air and the A/C unit will have a hard time keeping up. A second A/C unit is also reccomended.
