Extra vibration when ac is on
recently noticed that when I turn the ac on I at times feel extra car vibration/funky idling since I had the cam installed... Is this normal???

The A/C compressor puts extra load on the engine... what you're feeling could be normal... If you can turn your A/C compressor clutch by hand with the engine off to see how much resistance there is... should be fairly easy to turn with some resistance

My car idles the same with the a/c on as it does when its off and my cam is quite a bit bigger than yours. Im running UMI solid mounts so I feel more vibration in general but the fact that the motor stays nice and planted is well worth it.
I dont know if they did something special when it was tuned so i could run the a/c without any changes at idle or not.
