There should be a slight voltage drop but nothing to cause the engine to struggle unless the battery or alternator is on its way out.

if you are tuned into your car - then you can feel when the compressor kicks in and puts a load on the engine - it should not be that noticable to be honest.

If its bad - then the compressor could be a problem
