When I had my '95 Civic 5spd, I took it from Albany to West Point on the NY State Thruway to play paintball. On the return trip, it got quite warm so I intermittently used the A/C ... but only when going downhill ... and downhill stretches could be quite long ... lasting a minute or two.

When climbing hills, I turned it back off. With that 1.5L, you could feel the compressor kick in and out ... an obvious difference.
