No access. Unless one of the following two conditions apply:
1. You are connecting to the MIA-AUA flight from a flight from Europe, Mexico City, or Central or South America on the same day.
2. You are arriving into MIA on a non-stop transcon flight from SFO or LAX and connecting to the MIA-AUA flight the same day.
International Premium Class
American Airlines First Class# (including eligible guest) and Business Class passengers traveling on, or connecting to or from, an American Airlines international* flight have access to the Admirals Club on the day** of their international flight.
#International First Class passengers may also use the Flagship Lounge, where available.
*
International is defined as Europe, Asia, Central and South America, and Mexico City.
**Connection must be in conjunction with international segment. Stop overs are not permitted.
Please feel free to read
American Airlines Airport Lounges Access Policies from AA.com for additional information on Access Policies. It is a far better reference and quicker response than waiting for one of us to go there, retrieve the information for you, and then post it here.
BTW, MIA-AUA flight is Business Class, not First Class. If you are connecting to AUA via MIA, then yoru connecting flight woudl be in First Class (Z Class).
