Slow Acceleration with A/C On

Slow Acceleration with A/C On
Finally have the A/C working well for the summer but the only problem is it makes the car run like crap. Really sluggish acceleration. Noticed that this also would happen during the winter if I used the rear defrost.
Any suggestions on a fix??

You probably have some testing/maintenance to do.
Disconnect the battery and clean all ends of both battery cables with a wire brush or sand paper.
Stop by a parts store and have them test your battery and alternator.
Get some white out and draw a line on the face of the crank pulley from the crank bolt to one edge. Drive the car and turn on the a/c and/or rear defrost. When you return home, check that the line is straight. That pulley is actually two metal pieces connected by a rubber piece that can can break and possibly cause this problem.
Does your check engine light turn on while diving?

I'm thinking its the pulley. And no, no check engine light.

Noticeable improvement in acceleration.

Its just odd because I have been in other cars just like mine and they have no problem driving with their a/c on.
