I don't know about if you need Org I before micro because I have not take either of those classes yet. IMO if it wasn't a prereq for my school then I would go ahead and take it. I took Gen Chem II and Bio I last semester and it was a lot of work (well, I work full time also) but it was definitely do-able. I say go for it. 🙂
You don't need organic for microbiology. You only really need General Biology as a basis for microbiology.

Organic has nothing to do with microbio.
Well, our organic prof. was telling us about beta-lactams one lecture, which we covered in microbio, but that was just his way of showing us how organic is actually useful for pharmacists. I would still understand reasonably well what beta-lactams did without that lecture (and I didn't need to know their structure for micro anyway).

If you hope to get through your pre-reqs reasonably fast, you're going to have to take a couple sciences or even three per semester depending on which ones you need. You should be able to handle both together.
At my school, the pre-req to microbio was gen bio. While the class is a lot more interesting than gen bio, I got a C in the class -_-.
