AC + Breaks = Low RPM ?
I have a 1990 convertible when I use my AC “all the time as I live in Las Vegas” I have noticed that when I push the breaks the RPM’s drop and some time stall the car. Any one have any ideas?

Thank you I will look into the Alt.
I checked and cleaned the BAC and it is working fine. When my head lights are on and the brakes are depressed with the AC on the RPM's surge from 500 to 1000 till I take my foot off the brakes then the idle is normal.

You need to fix your charging system
