Engine sputters when AC on

My engine sputters while idling only when A/C is on. I have a 2000 civic. I have been driving with the AC off and dont have any issues and am able to reproduce the sputtering when the ac is turned on. Someone told me it could be the AC compressor or clutch. Anyone have any suggestions?

Re: Engine sputters when AC on

a minimul sputter is normal, when the A/c Kicks on it draws more power so when the car starts to idle to low it kicks back up to support the A/C
