Ok cool, i pulled an a/c out of a olds one time and the car wouldnt start without it, so i was just checking to make sure. Any idea of how much horse the a/c is dragging down?

The pulley just free wheels until you turn it on. Not much loss, just dead weight. When its on, its magnetic clutch connects it to the pump. Its an electro magnet and it puts a big load on the alternator as well as the extra power needed to drive the pump.
