You bought someone's headache. Compressor might be seized. Serpentine belt or individual belts?
Try driving the car without the belt, see what happens. Obviously don't drive it too long like that

Well the ac is cold when I’m driving it’s just the idle is rough. It has a serpentine on it, but it does bog down quite a bit when I turn on the ac. Other then that the car is great.

The idle can be adjusted. There should be instructions for this in the service manual for whatever car the J32 came out of.

So i cleaned the throttle body and it seems to have cleared the idle issue. The carbon build up around the throttle plate was bogging it down.
