Airconditioning slow down engine.

My car looses a lot of horse power when i turn my air conditioner on. I have a 1998 nissan 200sx manual transmission 1.6l. For some reason it really bogs down the engine during any acceleration.

Check and test the alternator might not be producing the correct output voltages to maintain the additional load from the AC magnetic clutch
