For complete information see the Princeton University General Education Requirements
All candidates for the B.S.E. degree must fulfill the following general requirements in addition to the requirements of their department:
Science and Computer Courses
The following are the minimum B.S.E. first-year requirements (**replaceable by advanced placement credits**). If these courses are successfully completed in the first year, the balance of the required courses can usually be scheduled without any problems in the sophomore year to enable the engineering student to remain on track.
2 terms of general physics
2 terms of math
1 term of general chemistry
A student who does not complete this minimum set of requirements by the beginning of sophomore year will be required to transfer from B.S.E. to A.B. candidacy.
By the end of the sophomore year, all B.S.E. candidates must have completed the equivalent of:
4 semesters of mathematics (through MAT 202/204/218)
2 semesters of physics (through PHY 104/106)
1 semester of chemistry (either CHM 207 or 201)
1 semester of computer programming ( COS 126)
These courses must be taken on a regularly graded basis. Any or all of these requirements may be satisfied by **advanced placement credits**.

Based on this, it seems as though you can use your AP credit to satisfy these requirements.
I was quite confused when I first read over the engineering requirements. I'm pretty sure you cannot use AP credit to place out of EC/EM/LA/HA/SA requirements though.
So... I guess I don't have to take Physics or Chem ever again...(?)
Just need to make sure because I'm planning out a rough schedule right now, and not having to take Physics or Chem gives me a lot more options
