The compressor may be going bad. You might want to measure the refrigerant pressures on the high and low sides. Did you recently add refrigerant to the system?

Sounds like you're short cycling. The low pressure switch is taking the AC clutch out. That's why your idle keeps going up and down. Lots of pulling in and dropping out by the AC clutch.
$50 says you're low on charge.
