Default A/C robbing power
I was just wondering if its normal to be able to feel when the A/C kicks on? When i drive i can tell when the a/c is on because my jeep feels a little sluggish.... you can just feel it. Its a 1989 and its converted to the r134. does anyone else have this issue?

It is completely normal. Your gas mileage will drop with the AC on too.
