TAM and GOL are both very profitable and reliable airlines.

Rs,
I arrive GRU at 6:00 am on DL. There is a TAM flight at 8:45 am to GIG. Is 2:45 minutes sufficient time to make the connection to TAM, even if the DL flight is a bit late? Presumably, I'll have to clear customs and immigration, then head to the TAM or GOL ticket counter to get a boarding pass, then reclear security into the TAM or GOL concourse. I'll be traveling in DL J with only carryon baggage, if that makes a difference.

Also, how long does it normally take to clear security to the concourses at GRU where TAM and GOL operate at approximately 7:00 am? I've read several other reports of long security wait times at GRU.
