yes, most certainly. not only the ac, but the airhandler, tv, two thousand watts of lights and other appliances. listen to your generator run with no load. then start adding load, ac with air handler[fan that blows cool air throughout the buildiong.] then add tv, some lights. when generator starts to labor, cut back on load. watch your voltage guage on the gen [if you have one]. voltage should be between 115 and 130 volts. if lower than 115, cut back on load. volt meters are dirt cheap at hardware stores. if your gen doesn't have one, get one and plug it into any receptacle in the building. if the reading is lower than 115, decrease load. listen to your generator, it will tell you when there is too much load. stay away from heating appliances, they use lots of power. stick with the necessities.

The units are not compatible - W (watts) are a measure of power, BTU is a measure of energy. You should be able to answer your own question from - 18000BTU/hr equals 5.27kW

Would a 1000W generator be fine to run something that needs 1081W?

No. It may be able to handle it for short durations, but for extended runs you are pushing the machine past its limits. The overload protection will either instantly kick out for overcurrent or the windings in the generator will overheat tripping the thermal safety. So basically, it may work but is a bad idea. If you need to power that 1081W load regularly you should invest in a larger generator.
