[padraic]

shouldnt make much diference.. at high speed it will be cutting in and out anyway as temperature needs it

on a clutch version it dont do the clutch any favours as its spinning at a higher speed the clutch can slip at high revs becauce its a metal to metal surface however most vechicles have a wot sensor when giving it hard throttle to give you more power and reduce this force on the clutch ie if throttle full on and you switch ac on clutch wont cutch in anyway if clutchless it wont make any difference this is why on early vw and saab scrolls the cltch face plats would break the 3 tension bars on the clutch clutch failure is mainly due to overheated comps ie lack of gass or lack of condensor fan or ambient air sensor faulty
