Default 98 LS400 AC comp short cycle

My 98's ac compressor is short cycling at startup and low rpm. It seems to be ok over 1000 rpm. The sight glass is clear. I put ac guages on the system and was seeing about 45 - 50 pounds on the low side and 215 on the high side. Before start the low pressure gauge reads around 80 and doesn't make it below 60 before comp cycles off. High pressure doesn't seem extreme either. I thought it was cylcing on pressure but not the case due to the pressure readings. What other components can cycle the compressor, thanks.
