I do not know what is wrong when your engine cuts off when the air is turned on. May be vacuum hose leak. However, your power steering problem can be repaired. There is a unit that goes on the power steering pump that allows the pump to work harder when can is sitting still and when this goes bad, it sucks power steering fluid into your engine causing it to blow "white smoke" at times. The part costs about $93 and it was not that much to put on the car.
