89 Camaro - A/C Relay constantly clicking

Hi everyone, I am new here, I bought an '89 Camaro (V6 2.8 Automatic)
about 3 months ago and have been restoring it since. I've gotten most
of the issues resolved so far, but have a few that haven't been fixed
yet. Since I finally tracked down that damn EGR valve problem, I'm on
to getting the A/C working properly. My problem is that my engine is
surging up & down and the A/C Compressor Control Relay is clicking on
& off when the A/C is on. What I've done temporarily is remove the
relay and jump the compressor with a toggle switch. When I put the A/C
on Max or Normal the RPM's increase as it should, then when I kick on
the compressor with the toggle switch, it goes back down to where it
should be.

does anyone have any ideas that would help me? I have both the
Chiltons and Haynes manuals and have searched for this issue on
multiple boards. Thanks a lot for reading!

Try recharging the system to the proper level.

PS
What you have is a CCOT system (Cycling Clutch Orifice Tube) and it will go
on and the compressor will cycle on and off. Even when the charge is at the
correct level.
