Well, I think non-AC cars had the throttle stop
solenoid set so that the throttle plates would close
fully when the engine was shut off.  On an A/C car the
throttle stop solenoid is set to kick up the idle a
little bit when the A/C is on.  The throttle plates
can be open a little which provides an opportunity for
dieseling.
