I'll record a video with my phone today and post it for you guys. But just to be clear, these are the steps I'm taking:

1 - with the car running in neutral, turn the fan on full without AC. Idle should be around 800 or 900 to start.

2 - activate the AC by pressing the button. When I do this the idle drops to 400. This is when I feel a small shudder. Then the idle will return to 900 on its own.

I have no CEL yet and I also do not have a chrip.

On my car, I can repeat these steps and have done many times yesterday. It was hot yesterday so I had time to play with the AC and that's how I discovered this.

Now I need to go get some cone marks off my front bumper. Lol.
