So my question is.
1 hour 30 mins enough to clear customs, get bags, drop bags off again, use airtrain to switch terminals, go through security again and board?

Delta have assured me an hour is enough. Posts here suggest otherwise!

Thanks for your help!

No! It is not enough time! The MCT DL international to DL domestic is 1:45. I have no idea what the MCT from another carrier and terminal to DL would be. Maybe you can get the agent or the airline to switch you to the KL nonstop to LAX?
