Pretty sure you have an IAC that controls the idle speed. If it is not working exactly to spec, you could experience more vibration at idle, especially when you add extra loads such as the A/C compressor.
The IAC -idle air control - regulates idle rpm. It is sort of a miniature throttle, run by the computer. They can get gummy and sticky and be unable to adjust the idle properly. If working, as soon as you start a cold engine, the IAC will raise the idle speed to over 1,000 rpms. As the engine & coolant warm, the IAC will lower the idle rpm to ~750, depending on engine, and hold the idle rpm when you put the transmission into gear. Sometimes cleaning the IAC and the throttle plate and the area nearby will improve idle and response.
OTOH, if it has done this since new, then I got nothin'.
