I have central heat and air...

Is this enough ventilation in a 11' x 11' gro room or should I add an intake via vortex fan?

I am going to be running two 1k's and I am not so much concerned about heat as I am with ventilation. I was going to just have one 6" vortex cooling the lights and running into the attic, but I am wondering if the air condition vent in the room is enough for air transfer alone.

I am in a room about the same size as yours with central heat and air as well, and 1 1000 watt bulb heats that room up to 92 degrees with my house A/C set to 73. 2 1000 watt bulbs will certainly require some type of additional cooling. As far as air transfer, I don't think that it will be enough. You need a lot of fresh air for over 100 square feet of grow area.

Hook the lights up, turn them on, close the door and see what happens. The fan that is cooling your lights will be sucking air into the room. That may be enough??? How many cfm is your vortex?
