The best thing for starting an AC compressor is to have the pressures equalized and that gets done faster by running the fan. If you want to get creative with delays, stop the fan for a couple of seconds when the compressor wire get a call from the tstat. That will help the pressures equalize and kill the fan power for a moment at compressor start up. Craig
