Your car should boost its idle speed by 100-150RPM when the compressor is on, if it does not do this, you may have an idle control issue. Check PCV system for functionality and the IACV as well.

Tip: The engine should idle at 450RPM or so with the IACV unplugged, if it dies, Your PCV is restricted.
