Admissions Advice

Would dropping AP Art history in order to have 5 classes instead of 6 as a senior badly affect my admissions chances?

I already have my arts credit, I do not need the class to graduate and I am not majoring in art. All my courses are Honors or AP, I am not taking easy classes as a senior. The two reasons I am dropping are:

1. I need to drop it to change my AP physics class period. Currently, I have AP physics during a period which I miss a lot due to sports and it is the class I am most concerned about difficulty wise, so I am worried that missing it would affect my gpa.

2. I would like to have 5 classes as a senior because I could get out early, have more time to do homework, and most seniors I know only have 5 classes.
