I did a search for that username but.no results. and yes u should be good. 500 cfm of exhaust per ton.
Its going to greatly depend on how many 1ks. And then of course the height of your ceiling.... insulation... region etc. I helped a guy out that had (3) 24,000 wall shakers, 16k, in a room roughly half the size of yours, and it barely kept up when the outdoor temp was over 90°. But, it also wasn't insulated as well as it shouldve been, and not quite enough exhaust for the hoods. That, and I have always felt that window units as well as, especially portables, don't really match their rated output........ But maybe Im just an HVAC guy with a biased opinion 
In other words, need a bit more info for anyone to tell you its gonna work.
Also, check out the "Sizing an air conditioner" thread that is stickied.... He has some pretty good info there.
