Sounds like there are multiple problems. If the oil is disappearing, and there are no leaks, it probably means that the piston rings are worn, and it's burning the oil. Look at the exhaust when it's running, and if it looks blue, thats a sure sign. If your burning oil, it will ruin the oxygen sensors, which the computer needs to read in order to adjust how much fuel to put in the engine. When you turn the air conditioning on, it puts a load on the engine, and you will notice it seems sluggish. I would start with a compression test/or leak down test to determine the state of the engine, followed by the timing, fuel pressure, etc.
