The a/c clutch puts a load on the engine if the system is charged with freon. The engine should have a way of increasing rpm slightly to compensate.

The heater, on the other hand, simply operates a fan and maybe adjusts the door inside the dash board to make air flow to the floor vents.

I think that if the car is this sensitive to a/c or heat, then it needs a tune up.

Also, are you sure it is 'heat' and not 'defrost' that you switch to when it stalls?

Because the a/c compressor goes on when the 'defrost' selection is made, which would point to the actuator or iacv (idle air control valve) is not bumping up the air and fuel mixture to increase the rpm slightly.

04 gmc yukon heater air cold passanger side.

If this happens when you are idle, and then you get hot air as you drive, most likely you have low coolant and it only cycles as you drive. Get approved dextrom gmc coolat and cap off your coolant it is most likely low.

Heater/ blower on 1999 mitsubishi galant 2.0gls

Most likely the resistors are stuffed.
Top speed the electricity goes straight to the fan motor.
The other settings go via a resistor to slow the speed, hence the 3 speeds. So the resistor feed is main suspect
