So this morning sat in traffic engine upto temp car in neutral I put aircon on, traffic started moving and I had to fight to get it in 1st gear.
Turned aircon off slipped in 1st no problem.
Put aircon on again incase I was imaging it and again had to fight to get 1st gear.
Anybody else noticed this?

Never heard anything other than the aircon pumping more air out but it's always been like that since new.

This is interesting, I have experienced issues getting into 1st sometimes but never made the connection with Air Con, I will try this out.
