Does the Armature plate spin when the compressor clutch in engaged??

Yes its supposed to

Now my next question....Does it always spin when the AC is on, or only when it needs to build pressure?

Time to do some flowcharting....

It doesn't always spin when the AC is on.
There are 2 sensors that can turn the compressor off, while the AC is on.
The pressure switch is the first one, and it located on the condenser. This one turns the compressor off if you have too little or too much pressure.
The second one is the thermostat, which is inside the evaporator. If it gets too cold, it turns the compressor off.

The cam gear pump works fine for filtered WVO or used motor oil Babington heaters and I have installed it on my Babington style heaters. Ldu Company's stock number is 450516 , The only thing about the cam gear pump is that the fire kind of pulses as the cam gear rotates. If you use the spur gear pump that is LDU's stock number 450512 then you get a steady non-pulsing fire. The WVO pump website is Wholesale Tools With Free Shipping World Wide From China Distributor or you can click through to the tools section from the home page at www.LDUcompany.com

LDU Company also has other parts that I use for building my waste oil burners, like gear reduction motors. I find it best to turn the pump slower because you really don't need a whole lot of oil dripping on the atomizer ball.
