The car actually runs just fine.. untill the ac is turned on then it won't accelerate and the battery light comes on. Otherwise the car runs great which is why I traded my shell for my old fox for it.

Any ideas on what the problem is I'm hoping it's simple cause using the A/C would be nice once in a while.

Does the pedal come up if you pump the pedal?

IF it does, will it still travel to the floor when pressure is held?

You can get plugs ( may need to buy a kit to do this), but if you plugs the lines off at the master cylinder, it should be rock hard, if not you'll need one.

To remove rounded bleeders is not always sucessful. In the beginning they should have been hit with penetrating oil. Somtimes working them in a clockwise then counter clockwise motion you can free them. The goal here is just to get them out so you can replace them. I would try an undersized wrench or socket and force it on or try vise grips. You can try bleeding the wheel with the brake hose connection if you are careful.
