What class should I take in Highschool?

Hi, I’m currently a junior in Highschool and I need help. I want to major in Engineering in college. The AP classes I signed up for this year are AP Chem, AP Physics 1, APUSH, AP Lang&Comp and AP Calculus BC. That seems like a lot right? I took them because I was a pretty good student last year and had all As, but my level of rigor wasn’t as high as this year and I’m wondering if maybe I was too overconfident in choosing my schedule (I took all honors classes last year, not ap..) I really don’t want to overwhelm and burn out myself.

I definitely want to take ap chem this year because I took it last year and I loved it and the teacher, but for engineering I need physics. I wanted to switch ap physics 1 for ap computer science principles or some easier ap class and then take ap physics c in my senior year (and study physics 1 over the summer). I was wondering if that would be the best idea since AP Physics C would be my first exposure to physics since 7th grade…
