Assume the flight arrive on time of course.

LAN is gonna land in Concourse J which is the 3rd floor of terminal H

and my connectin flight is on J7 on terminal J which is next to terminal H.
This could be cutting it VERY close - there are a lot of flights arriving at that time from SA and customs/immigration can get crowded. Since the airline made this decision for you, I would have your travel agent call them back and ask for a later flight, which should be at no charge.

Not sure what the minimum connection times at MIA are, but this seems to be too short.
