Traveling ORD-PVG on AA in a few weeks and I am about to book a connection to PEK, but want to know if the connection time is enough.

I am flying J that arrives PVG at 2:15pm and am looking to book a ticket that departs PVG-PEK at 4:00pm on China Eastern. I have no checked luggage and a regular tourist single-entry visa.

Also, I know that Chinese airlines (especially MU) are notoriously late and unreliable, etc. but I want to assume that the MU flight will be on time.

Is the 105 minute connection time enough?
The issue is you have to clear immigration/customs in PVG. The lines depending on luck can be very long and take an hour
