Default 99 EX idle issue only when climate control is on

okay so I have a 1999 honda civic ex(d16y8) if I turn the heater/ac on it will start to rev continuously, and makes a deep whistling sound(kind of sounds like blowing in a bottle) coming from the right side of the bay near the a/c pump, but the strange thing is if I turn the rear defrost on the noise goes away🤷‍♂️ and if I turn the climate control off my idle smooths out quite a bit. the car is throwing a p0505 for a IAC valve even after I swapped it out for a new one.

What is the idle speed with the A/C off and is the idle perfectly smooth or is there still some hunting?

Does P0505 return after you reset the ECU?

with A/C off it idles smooth around 700-800. yes p0505 does return, sometimes it takes a couple good drives, but it never fails to reappear.
