Have you check the ignition timing and EGR system? Nothing was mentioned on fuel pressure.

Spider Vortec or TB injection system

An idle up solenoid is use to increase rpm when compressor engages to compensate for the load.

Finally figured it out.it was the pick up coil in the distributor along with a bad battery. THANKS ALOT for all of your help.
