You shouldnt really drop on the basis of an ATAR estimate (for more info on the reliability and accuracy of estimates check out my thread here: (http://community.boredofstudies.org/showthread.php?t=279027). Consider these issues when deciding on dropping a subject (in order of importance):

1) How well am I doing in it?
2) Is the workload to high - will I gain a lot of time by dropping it?
3) Do I like it?
4) Do I need it for uni?

I reckon you should keep the extra unit as there are only a few months till the HSC. The extra units can act as protection in case you do badly in the HSC in one subject.

To me Industrial Technology would be the obvious choice.
