You could install a custom circuit that cuts off the compressor during full throttle or you could just push the snowflake button on your dash. Job done.

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.

From the User Manual, page 116:
General instructions for air conditioning compressor
- Can switch off briefly if engine is under an extreme load to ensure sufficient engine cooling.
