Is it too much to take Orgo, Bio, Orgo lab and Bio lab in spring in addition to studying for the April MCAT?

You should be fine, as long as the other classes you take aren't bad. You need ochem and bio anyways before you take the mcat.

No, it's not too much workload. No, you will not do well on the april MCAT if you are currently only taking the first semester of Bio and Orgo. Most of the relevant material for the MCAT seems to come in the second semester of those classes. Unless you just know the material from independant study, of course.

I took Orgo 2 w/ lab, biochem, biochem lab and physio during the spring and bombed the MCAT. But I was also working full time and didn't have much time at all to study for the MCAT.

You should be fine though. Good luck!!

That'a why I started Kaplan precourse 3 weeks ago and I do their assigned homework religiously every week. I also plan on studying second semester stuff during the winter break.
Do you think that should allow me to do fine on MCAT or should I just shoot for the August one?
