AC Keeps Braking Belts, etc...

My AC runs cold, but has thrown or broken belts more than once this season. The low pressure switch cuts in and out frequently (replaced it earlier in the spring). The high and low side pressures are consistantly within normal range.
When I turn on the AC the IAC kicks in to boost idle. No vacuum leaks. Idles at 650 rpm in drive with AC on. Some times stalls at idle after a stop.

If you have the York compressor without the large weight on the clutch, you might be having belt vibration. York make a compressor with a very large weight on the back of the clutch the is larger than the clutch itself and I've heard the it really helps keep down the belt vibration.

Does anyone know what the freon (R12) and compressor oil capacities are in ounces, for a '85 F150 PU, 302 FI (factory air system)?

Thanks
