Try unplugging the A/C clutch and take it for a drive.

My 91 does it when the a/c clutch is plugged in, draws hard off the alternator everytime it kicks in and would usually drop a couple hundred rpm then kick back up when it cut out again. It was even noticable at hiway speeds.
My air didnt blow cold anyway so i just left it unplugged for now, till i decide to fix it or get a delete pulley for it.
