Running your A/C is not free, it uses your engine power to turn the A/C compressor. With this said the loss of power is normal along with lower gas mileage.

Re: cv.looses power when air cond..

It all depends on weight of the car vs gearing vs horsepower when it comes down to how noticeable the power loss will be. There are also other factors such as air conditioner charge pressure. Again depending on your gearing driving without overdrive in the city will help. Now day’s even small engines have good horsepower and weight ratio. Try a mid 80's 4 cyl car like the chevette, you turn the A/C on and you lose half a engine.
