Could be freezing - but it should do it at low speeds too. It may not at idle, but around town it should stop working too.
If it has the type of expansion valve with the copper tube and bulb, the bulb may not be placed right. it should go right into the evaporator coils where it can sense if it's getting too cold.
If it's been replaced it may not be in proper position to detect it's starting to freeze.
Refer to a service manual as to how it should be placed.

My ac was cutting out or stopping on the highway when accelerating, cruise control was not working as well. Turned out the resevoir line was somehow off of the vaccuum resevoir under the pass. Headlight.

This is not correct - the magnetic field produced by the voltage is also dependant on the resistance of the conductor - which increases with heat cycles and heat. So an old coil which has undergone many heat cycles, will produce a weakened magnetic field as it its temperature increases...and get to the point where that magnetic field is not sufficient to pull in the clutch.
