I think that since the 98's have the lowest hp engines of the 986 series, we tend to suffer from the additional strain of the AC on the engine. I rarely have my AC on but when I do it seems to be quite a strain on the engine and I really have to adjust my clutching and gas style to have a smooth take off. I do not have any idle concerns at stops like you have mentioned.
Glad to see that it may just be normal.
BTW. I love the aftermarket AC. A new found favorite.
