Question Jumpy acceleration. 1995 V8 auto

1) It feels like when you FIRST drove a stick and you wouldnt get it into gear right. It isnt as severe as that but I can sure as heck feel it. Its strongest between 50-60mph while going up hill. Its always while Im accelerating. I THINK having the A/C on makes it worse but Im still not sure about that. Its too dang hot outside to drive without it!!

2) When I take it out of park and put it into drive (or rev.) there is a lot of hesitation before it engages. If I hit the gas too early (before it gets into gear) it JUMPS into gear and my tires spin.

3) One more prob...while Im driving on the highway and I want to pass somebody, I hit the gas hard and it hesitates a couple seconds before it begins to accelerate. Once it does accelerate, it does it very quickly (thats no problem!!). Ive been told its just taking time to shift down a gear as to accelerate better. True?
