I have carry-on luggage only. Is it practical to make a Term2-Term1 connection at PVG after an international flight in 1:25? More pressing - At this airport will I need to pass through Chinese customs/immigration in T2 and then re-check & pass through security in T1?

Appreciate any insight.

Cheers
You'll be fine; the two terminals are only 10 minutes apart. You will definitely need to clear border control in Shanghai. Customs: maybe, maybe not... depends on whether AA tags your bags all the way to HK.

ETA: I just noticed your "carry on luggage" comment. You will pass a customs officer or two during your transfer, but they don't really slow things down.
