Would it be hard to take a 5-week Cal II class?

General physics, not so much. I do remember doing some Taylor Series stuff in physics 1. Physics II uses Calc 3 concepts (mostly just gradients, nothing too serious). The honors sequence requires more complicated integrals though, so calc 2 methods will be used to integrate for those solutions (and similarly calc III material for physics 2). The reason I said that is because Shackelford is a pure physics major. So when he takes the true mechanics, electromagnetism, thermal physics courses, he is going to be using every detail he learned in his calculus courses and then some.
