vacuum leak or accelerator cable and or linkage sticking.
**ALSO...the electronic choke. When the engine has warmed up enough, there should
be 12V on the wire leading to the choke from the small relay located on the left
fender wall on the late 70s and early 80s. It may be hidden inside a black metal box.

Fast idle motor is not working. This is allowing the idle to fall below the threshold of what it should be when the A/C is on.
Cars often idle fast when you start them up. The automatic choke will make the car idles fast for a while then the idle speed will slow down, once the engine warms up.
Over heating (running to hot), Fast idle (Incorrect idle adjustment), Incorrect timing, Carbon build up in combustion chamber,
What causes a car to idle good and run rough when you give it gas?
Idle set too high or accelerator is sticking and needs lubrication.
usually at high idle 1500 rpm for about half hour
either the throttle position sensor (TPS), or a vaccum leak
Check the Idle Air control valve. This lets air bypass the throttle body plate when the car is at idle or low revs.

It is very likely there is no way to adjust the idle on your car. If your car is idling low, it's probably a problem somewhere else. Idle is likely controlled by the computer.
Idle compenstorVehicles hve an idle copensator that speeds up the engine when the ac is turned on to ring the rpm back up to the proper idle speed, if yours is too fast then t needs to be adjsted.
It means you have a high idle. Either you engine is cold or you have some kind of carburation issue or a linkage issue.
