Default '03 RSX-S: AC robs power, drops revs fast

Hey all -

I have an '03 RSX type S that seems to have a perennial problem. When the AC is on, the power seems weaker than even what you'd expect (much more of a sag than on my '93 Integra). Also, when shifting, revs PLUMMET and engine sometimes seems like it will stall. Normal-speed shifts result in 'slam' when letting out the clutch.

New air filter (or blowing it out w/ compressed air) seems to help a bit, for a while. The car did not do this until ~ 20K (currently 32k). Dealer seems unable to offer more advice than the air filter.

Anyone else experience this problem? Anyone found the solution?
Thanks,
Tim
