Will an AC help the dry....short answer, yes, longer answer provisionally. Personally I let my buds hang for a week right after the chop. This shortens the time required to cure them. after the week hangin they go into an old fridge set as warm as it will go. That usually equates to aboput 50 degrees depending on the temps outside. Inside the fridge I have a small dehumidifier.This completes the drying process in about 2 days. Then it's the jars till burn time. Most of my colas run about 200 grams each wet, so I really think the week hangin unmolested and unrushed is mandatory to evenly pull the moisture out(imo).The smaller lower buds are usually ready for the jars after the week. Colas....no where near, they require the fridge or they will sometimes mold from the inside out if the room they are in is too warm.
As an addendom, when they are hanging, they are right in front of the ac that cools my box, so are kept pretty cool the whole time. All of this probably isn't absolutely neccessay, but it works very well with my space. IE I'm getting double duty out of my cold air resevoir and the results are....heavenly
