When I come to a red light my battery voltage drops to 12v and my car feels like it's going to stall. In order to keep my voltage up I have to keep my air on. What is wrong?

You have to keep the blower motor on to keep the voltage up? That's a very strange issue. Are you sure you didn't mean you have to keep your foot on the accelerator?

Anyways, the culprit is most likely your alternator or a fault in the charging system somewhere. Have an AVR test done this will test your electrical components and will quickly determine what is wrong.
