I checked with AA and indeed, there is no process to retrieve past boarding passes. But I was able to use the Refunds website to pull up a copy of the receipt (showing LHR-LAX and LAX-SAN as 'used') and attached a car rental receipt from SAN upon my arrival, so hopefully that should do the trick...
