Arrow A/C Compressor can be felt and heard while at idle.

I recently recharged the 134a in my ford ranger. After the recharge, you can see, hear, and feel the compressor engage, and disengage. Did I put too much coolant in? Or not enough? Thanks in advance.

figured it out

I guess the last owner felt that the accelerator cable didn't need to be tight, for some reason. The butterfly valve wasn't opening, causing the engine stagger at idle. Adding the A/C was almost killing it. Adjusted the cable, problem solved.
