I would definitely keep a charcoal filter in there not only for the reason given above, but also to ensure that only a bare, bare minimum of solvent ever flies past the motor. Better to er on the side of caution I say.
BTW, I'm considering one of these myself. How do you find the noise level?
I have this paint booth...IMHO, I recommend using the charcoal filter, regardless, because it prevents some bad vapor from going into the environment...
I used up my supply of these filters and now use filters that I cut to shape and have a charcoal filter built in. I get them at Walmart...works great...and I filter outside....
The charcoal filter would indeed be used if you are NOT venting to the outside. This filter is used to adsorb organic vapors onto the charcoal. Because you're venting vapors away from the booth, the charcoal is not necessary. The particulate filter, however, needs to stay in place in order to capture paint residue and keep it from coating your fan and ductwork.

I own the spray booth in the title and think I might need to replace the filter. But I'm confused as to how I should be using the filters. My booth came with both a charcoal and a fiber filters factory installed. The charcoal one is in front of the plenum screen the fiber is in front of the charcoal filter. According to the directions it look like I should have both, but in a previous post MikeV said I didn't need the charcoal on since I'm venting to the outside. And since the booth's direction are from clear I wouldn't doubt it.
But I'm just not sure what is right way ...........
Thanks in advance..................
