Default AC compressor and fan

Hi guys, is it normal that my engine fan is running full time? It look alright, no anormal play or things like that.

Second question, is it normal that the AC compressor is kicking in every 30 seconds or so? AC is off.

Thanks

Mechanical fan, with a fluid clutch. It will always be turning if the engine is running.

A/C also runs when the controls are set for any flavor of defrost. Kicking on an off like that indicates it is low on refrigerant.
