In the immigration hall, most people head right, but there are often desks on the left open as well. Keep an eye open!

Don't try and wait for a lift they can be very slow at KUL, take the escalators up to departures.
SirJman, again, thanks for the tips.

It looks like I could still make the connection even if WY is delayed up to 45 min as BR will let me check-in 1 hour prior to scheduled departure.

2 questions as part of the planning:

-Once you get down to immigration, is there a dedicated line for J passengers? If so, where is it located (middle, left, or right)? Based on my experience, the queue isn't always (although usually it is) shorter, in that case I'll shoot for the left end.

-How quick does KUL deliver bags to baggage carousels? My worst experience, JFK, DL domestic flight, 45 minutes.

If things go as planned I may even have time to relax in the lounge.
