Weird idle with AC on

Why when I'm driving and I turn my AC on my car seems to bog down a little and then when I am coasting clutch in my rpms hold at 1500 and then when I stop they drop down to the normal 900?
Any help would be appreciated

Normal. If you're drivin with the AC on it's like driving a whole different clutch kinda lol. I opt to put the windows down unless its ridiculous hot.

Yup, especially when the car is cold, it will idle a few hundred RPM higher until the car warms up.

Mine will dip as low as like 500-600 when i engage the clutch after driving. Only if the car isnt fully up to temp. Never has it once stalled. I just chalk it up to being normal. Kinda annoying though.
