I would summit both but I highly recommend taking 2 subject tests.
If you do well on the ACT (meaning 32+), it would be better if you didn't turn in your SAT score at all.
This is all opinion: They want to see that you participated in many clubs and volunteer work BUT by your Junior year you should have chosen a few in order to show you are passionate and dedicated to only a few things.

No problem and I wish you the best of luck in this and all other future endeavors!
