What do you guys think about a circuit that monitors the TPS signal, and interrupts the A/C clutch at about 3/4 throttle. I imagine I Could use a modified tach light to get the same result, but my Acura runs too high in the RPM range on the highway.

Any Ideas?

GM cars in the 1980s had a vacuum switch that is on with high vacuum, and off with low vacuum, like at full throttle. Many use it for cut-offs such as this.

It is on Monte carlo types just behind the drivers headlight.
