Im looking to install a window ac in my garage closet grow room. Any pros out there that can help me as to how to make it not obvious and maybe how to quiet it down. I have a hole in the wall that can drain outside but no air escape beside gas water heater duct and garage wall vents.

Sorry duh yeah more info:

Closet measures 7ft tall 8ft wide and 26inch deep. I have a pair of doors at one end, the other side is flat wall and house's my flower area. The side with the doors has a 3ft tall 2 ft wide 20inch deep box which has my clones/veggies. the top of this smaller box is my supply shelf and above that is a lil over 2ft height which is where I want to install the ac. The closet is built off the wall so I have access to both inner and outers of the closet sides. I dont have the ac in my hands yet but have seen it so I know its the type that sit outside and blow cool air in and drip water outside.

are you really sure you want ac? a closet that small should be able to be controlled by passive intake and exhaust...I put in ac and after correcting air flow, I don't even need it...i'm giving it away cause its useless now. I'm in an 8x8x8
for you, air in is a simple discrete hole in the chamber, the exhaust can be as simple as hole sawing through the ceiling and exhausting through a stinkpipe,eves, or chimney. You will get air,c02,and rid of moist air.GL.

Summer time garage gets really hot. The hps although not as hot as my mh was still gets the closet hot plus now I have a 4 2ft bulb t5 hood adding to it. The hps is being vented by a squirel cage fan drawing air from inside the flwr are, through the hood and out the hot water heater pipe. Also there is a 4" boost fan at the bottom corner of the closet.

stays relevant.
you would need to duct the air conditioning exhaust through a ducted ozone generator prior to letting it outside, otherwise the smell will be quite obvious.
