Question 98 Camaro V6 3800 Throttle issue/s

I am having a weird issue with throttle response and RPM fluctuating.
1) When I am cruising at a steady speed on the hwy I notice my engine speed will jump up and down by a couple hundred RPM. Sounds almost like it is kicking in and out of over drive??

2) When at idle with the A/C on the RPM's do the same as in #1 and I notice that the Voltmeter guage drops up and down as well. I turn the A/C off and it stops.

3) When using the cruise control.. if I barely press the brake pedal to release/disengage the cruise control.. The engine speeds up!! I have to give the pedal a pretty firm push in order to disengage (still has a quick rev prior to disengaging) or just turn it off a the switch.

Any ideas on these? Are they possibly related?

With the a/c thing...my pressure goes up and down a little, and when accelerating it seems likes it takes a little longer to shift. As far as the other things i have no clue... could be many things, possibly maf sensor?
