Back in the '90s, I remember buying a switch that was activated by vacuum (adjustable) and it would cut off the a/c compressor if it senses that you are going full out... It was a simple install (at least on a front engine jap car) and it does work (I think... but I got it installed on a puny 4 cylinder engine... ha ha). It just got hot in the cabin if you continue to drive aggressively...

It eventually went on full compressor cut off mode so I removed it.
