I've heard that one A-level is worth 2 AP classes, so it's definitely enough! I emailed a college pretty recently to ask about A-levels (I'm a GCSE student myself), and they said they give them just as much consideration as the American system.

Try do the SAT or ACT though, so that admissions officers have a way to compare your academics to American candidates. I think you'll find either of them really easy since we British curriculum kids tend to learn stuff a lot earlier than Americans. I hope this helps!
