Default car stalls with AC on

I recently just installeda trick &flow manifold and new throttle body (bbk). At first the car would stall almost everytime in first gear and reverse when you came to a complete stop. The check engine light was on and there was a low voltage code for the throttle body and we had to adjust the 3mm screw so the car would idle a bit higher and it was fine, no stalls or nothing, but when the AC is on it idles lower, around 650-750rpm. When I come to a complete stop (with the AC on) it either stalls right out or the rpms go up a bit first and then slowly come down and stall out. It doesnt do it everytime and it seems to do it less when its not in gear. I also notice the rpms jump up a little bit sometimes when the AC is on, i dont know if thats just the fan or something coming on and off.

what other mods do you have?

Your Idle Air Control sensor could need a good cleaning or need to be replaced since most of your problems are occuring at idle or on decel it sounds.
