My car runs like crap with the AC on...

It shifts horrible, runs horrible. I have to really "burn" the clutch to get going on hills...

I've also noticed that if I'm at a stop light with the brake depressed, and I switch the AC off, the brake pedal goes down a lil bit more...

It sucks...Any ideas?

(it also idles a lil rough without the AC on)

Many possibilities. I'd be checking the accessory belt and tensioner.

How hot is it outside while this is going on??? The heat is most likely robbing

your power and with the AC going full blast your really robbing your engine of power....heat is bad...
