A few things first ,the car started this bump/shuttering problem awhile back its a hit and miss thing, it's a 96 gt,so i replaced the plugs w/ autolite 742 ,new 9mm frpp,2 new coil packs,new fuel filter,i have a 2003 throttle body & plenum,mac cai,march underdrive pullies,new tps,idle air control valve,new altenator ,new water pump,new battery,3.55 gears,it has a aode,now i have not checked the fuel pressure because the car runs so great,no check engine light on what so ever,no problem with idleing ,but it does it slightly without the a/c on,but turn on the a/c and it bucks once in awhile very hard and the rpm's drop, I'm begining to think that it might be my torque converter,or something in the trans,or a computer issue,its not a blown head gasket either beacause i'm not losing any coolant,any suggestions would be highly appreciated!!!

Your car will shutter briefly when the AC compressor kicks on. That is normal. If it is bogging it down pretty good then it could be the compressor clutch going bad. It would cause a shutter even with the AC off since the clutch disengages the compressor but still turns the pulley.
