No science junior year...risky choice?

I’m a sophomore right now and a couple weeks ago i chose my classes for next year. At the time I was content with it but now I’m having doubts
I chose:
AP Language
AP Calc AB
AP U.S. History
AP Chinese
two electives (yearbook and virtual business)

I took AP Chemistry this year and realized that I’m really not a science person. It just doesn’t spark any interest for me. So, it seemed logical that i could skip science junior year and wait until senior year to take AP Biology, which will be extremely time-consuming. BUT I’m wondering if the rigor of my schedule for next year is appropriate. I have a 4.0 GPA and am taking honors classes (and the one AP this year) so maybe four academic classes is a little too under-achieving?

Basically, I’m wondering if I should give up an AP and replace it with 2 honors class just so I could get the 5 academic courses.

Any advice or input would be helpful, thanks! :]

*Note: This is not ultra-important since I’m not going to pursue a science major in college, but I’d like to know if I’m hurting my chances at high-ranked colleges.
