Seems like I recall a post where this problem was found to be caused by a faulty ignition switch. The hvac switching on and off was the clue. The poster found it hard to believe the problem could be the ignition but it was changed and problem solved. I could not find the post but I believe it was Lucky1969 who suggested the switch as the possible problem.

This is the post I was thinking about. A lot of interesting information on a problem similar to yours. Trouble shooting the problem was recommended before replacing parts. https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...nditioner.html
