Sorry, but I was able to follow your explanation up to:

Is the new vent a fan with a light?

If so, there is two outlets in it to feed the fan and light separately. Since you only have one switch, the connect the two outlets in the fan unit to the switch,both the fan and light will come on and off together.

Did I miss anything?
