I have a p0420 code and rough idle. Seems to be way tougher when A/C is off and when it’s on it dulls the idle and shutter a lot. What could be the cause of the rough idle?

Simple things are plugs and dirty air cleaner.

Lots of possibilities for this one...
Easiest one to check out would be an exhaust leak from the gasket between the L/H cat and exhaust midsection.
