I guess I will go with a 90 min connection just to be safe?
Just came back from my trip and I can report 90 mins layover was more then adequate for LAX-HNL-KOA AA to HA connection.

I was able to walk from my AA LAX-HNL flight to the interisland terminal gate for the HNL-KOA flight with my 5 years old in 15 minutes, including a brief wait in the jet bridge for the car seat to be brought up. We also stopped for potty break for my son and a quick detour to the garden to look at the koi fish pond.

We then spent the next hour inside the HA Plumeria lounge. The cold soba noodle was quite good but the dipping sauce was just soy sauce.
