how did you charge the a/c?
did you spin the compressor over before you installed it?

If you rev the engine some will it keep running?

well it sounds like it's not charged enough to begin with.
And by spin it over i mean to make sure it wasn't seized, but it seems like it's not.

So if you keep your rpm up it won't die? If so check your idle. it should be about 750rpm.
