I was able to call
AA CS and get this info verbally from
them. (This was well after I'd booked the flight. I don't know how quickly AA gets this info.)
(I also got similar info for a Gol partner flight on the same call, that was on the same itinerary.)
After I got off the phone, I went to the LAN site, and verified that it could pull up my flight (but of course, since it was way more than 2 days before it, I couldn't much more with it yet).
And the day or so before my flight, I was able to check in successfully online and select a seat up front. (I didn't have a printer, and needed to check a bag anyway, so I didn't try actually printing the boarding pass. Seat selection per my AA status was my only goal, and that did seem to work.)
