Vortec chevrolet's can do this, with a PCM reprogram. LS1 Corvettes do it from the factory when you floor the gas pedal, and any 96+ S10/blazer/silverado/tahoe/etc can be set to shut off a/c whenever gas pedal is pressed greater than n%

As an example, I had my stock 2001 Blazer's engine computer reflashed by wait4meperformance.com to shut off a/c for 30 seconds whenever the throttle is >80% (and then re-engage the a/c even if throttle remains depressed >80%, not that I can think of many circumstances that would call for 30 seconds of heavy throttle like that) - I had a few other changes made in there of course as well, but that was the one relevant to this thread.
