Admissions Advice

Is it worth taking academic physics over the summer if it will allow me to take AP physics senior year?

Physics is a prerequisite for AP Physics C: Mechanics at my school. I'm a sophomore right now and I've been recommended for honors physics next year, but I also want to take AP CSA + AP chem and that would give me no space in my junior schedule for physics. In order to ever do AP physics I would have to do academic physics as an online summer course between junior and senior year (the virtual program doesn't offer honors). Would doing that reflect poorly on my transcript/strength as a student?
