I want to say, 'He is getting heated up' (angry) using se calentar. Should I put the Él in there to make sure they know I'm talking about him and not her? Él se caliento?

Be careful with expressions like this. I have only heard them with things like an afrodisiac.
Él se va a poner enojado.

Flock of sheep. My error was a typo. What's your excuse? ;) - 00551866, May 19, 2013

Se está enfadando
Se está enojando
Se está poniendo bravo
Se está calentando can mean getting angry but can also have a sexual connotation as Andreknue suggested.

'He is getting heated up' (angry) using se calentar.
I agree that "calentar" is poor choice for this senario unless you want an interesting play-on-words.
You can also say Se está poniendo furioso / rabioso / encabronado.
