What would cause massive amounts of antifreeze to leak in a 97 Grand Am GT when the air conditioning is running but only then?
you may have a cracked hose ***Your cooling system generally runs significantly hotter when the Air Conditioning is running. This is due to the extra heat produced by the A/C condenser located just in front of the radiator. You most likely have a defective radiator or cap, or a very small leak in your cooling system. The increased heat from the A/C causes increased pressure in the cooling system, and the leak becomes more evident.
What else can I help you with?

How your car will react running without antifreeze?

Can running out of antifreeze ruin an engine?
antifreeze does two things. It keeps the water in the radiator from freezing in the winter, and helps prevent if from boiling over and evaporating in the summer. You can run your vehicle with water alone in moderate temperatures and it will do the job. But, if you mean by "running out of antifreeze" you mean there is no liquid in the radiator, then yes, your vehicle can overheat and ruin the engine.
Why do the lights flicker when the air conditioning is running?
The lights may flicker when the air conditioning is running because the AC unit draws a lot of power when it turns on, causing a temporary drop in voltage that can affect the lights.
Should the engine be cool or running when adding antifreeze?
Your engine should be cold ( to be on the safe side) when adding antifreeze/coolant. i let the car sit overnight and then add it.
Are there any problems running a cars air conditioning 6 hours or longer?
