Since you have power brakes which utilize engine vacuum, a slight change in idle is to be expected when you engage the pedal. But based on your comment about stumbling or nearly stalling you might check for an actual vacuum leak.

Re getting out of Park, is the car parked on the level or on a slope? It might also be helpful to those who can trouble-shoot that problem to know if you have traditional Ultramatic or GearStart? If the car is on a slope, you might pull the car forward or back a bit to take the load off the pawl.
