Frankly I admire OP's chutzpah doing a tight connection at LAX between terminals on separate tickets whilst checking luggage... I've done AS arrivals from Mexico or Costa Rica where I end up walking a mile+ just to get back to T6 and my next AS flight.
Oh yeah it’ll make it no problem. There are “hot bag” runners and scanners show where bags with tight connections are, and ultimately the bag takes a much more direct route to the plane than a pax can.
