Car loses power when A/C is on

Lately I have noticed that my GS300 loses a considerable amount of power when I turn on my A/C. Is there anything I can do for this? Is there anything I should have checked out to avoid spending more money down the road? Thanks

Yep that happens. Ever wonder why people buy pullies. Not sure if they make them for gs300 but it frees up hp .

But why would the power loss be more now than it was before?

why do you think it's the AC? Why do you think it's "more than before".

maybe your belt is over-tightened.
