AA excludes EY operated and marketed flights between JFK/ORD/IAD/YYZ and AUH from earning miles in the AAdvantage program.

Since LAX is not on the list of excluded gateways and the flights are booked in an eligible fare class, they should earn full AA mileage credit.
Edited to add: Did not read the question and AA page carefully enough - earnings on EY marketed/operated flights (if any) are only RDM, not EQM/EQP
