Default how much HP does the AC use

anyone know how much HP the air conditioner takes to drive it, both on and when off?

Don't know about that but, there are settings in
the PCM that will cut out the A/C for you above
certain RPM and TPS thresholds, when you want
to shed load.

I think a way to find out would be on a dyno. If even it show the loss.

That'd be tough to do though, cause the PCM cuts the AC above 3.5K (I think, stock value might be a little higher) and at WOT.

Too many variables to tell in a part-throttle dyno
