feels weak when AC is on?

Hey,
I found out that the car gets weaker when AC is turned on.
It feels like REV's slightly lower and I have to step on gas more than i am supposed to.
Is it just me having that problem, or is it normal?
If it is just mine, then do I need to replace some parts?
thanks in advance.

its normal..your ac uses your belt system, meaning it slows your crank down...so you lose a few hp..this has been discussed before.....its normal

A few? AC damn near will take 20 or do hp away when the compressor is running.

Something you can get is an AC cutoff switch. You hook it to your throttle linkage on the TB and adjsust it so that depending on the throttle position, it will temporarily cut off the AC compressor.
