Default Low engine idle fluctuation when A/C goes on

Has anyone had this problem before? I tried to search, but didn't know what to search under.
At idle, with the A/C on, my EG idle fluctuates up and down I hear what sounds like some motor going on and off. I keep thinking the engine will stall, only for some motor to kick in.
Any idea?

thats normal..the bigger the motor the less noticeable it is..the motor is running the compressor with a pulley and belt

it's a stock d series motor. it doesn't happen on an '01 v6accord, '01 s2000, '01 civic coupe. (well, my '93 civic is 8 years older)..the rpms fluctuate from what looks like 300rpms (close to stalling, then jumps up 1000 or so, then drops again).
on all my other cars..it fluctuates, but the noise and the drop isn't as drastic.
