I think it'd make plenty of roleplaying sense to drop Jaheira, since Druids are lousy in BG1, and no self-respecting PC would drag around a party member who can't pull her own weight and is liable to get everyone killed. Seriously, her only good stat is her 17 CON, and what a fat lot of good it does her.

But, if you're married to the idea of keeping Jaheira (and therefore Minsc for the same reason), I would swap out Kivan, and let either Coran or Minsc fill Kivan's slot.

My setup for this party would be...
Ajantis: Tank and party leader
Coran and Kivan: Archers and backup Tanks (and Lockpicking, Backstabby types)
Branwen: Priest (to be replaced with Good-aligned Priest later)
Imoen: Backup Wizard and Trapmistress
You: Duh
But you say that "Coran is already gone," so that seems out.
