When I turn on the car's air-conditioner the power booster for the brakes stops working intermitently.

Have you checked for vacuum leaks to the booster itself?

Before replacing it, to a vacuum test on it to make sure it is bad. THey are not cheap and are a pain to replace. You don't want to do it if you don't need to.
